Creative Writing: Memoir

$29

with MindEdge Instructor

Calendar Current session started Mar 19, 2024

Do you have a story to tell? Most of us do—correction, we all do. Every one of us, by virtue of being human, has experiences and insights that are worth retelling. But how can we tell those stories in a way that other people will want to read them and learn from them? Memoir is the art of taking scenes from our past and presenting them to an audience, not simply for the sake of telling a story but to inform, entertain, and establish an emotional bond with our readers. By exploring memories and examining our lives, we also learn a lot about ourselves.

Who-Done-It Book Club - Fall 2024 - Cain's Jawbone

$30

with Christa Galipeau

Calendar Next available session starts Oct 3, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 9 weeks

Six murders. One hundred pages. Millions of possible combinations… but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada’s murder mystery?

In 1934, the Observer’s cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written.

The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible – through logic and intelligent reading – to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers.

Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain’s Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks?

Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.

Join us as we break this book down and try to find out who-done-it.  We will be meeting once a month for the year, or until we crack the code.  We will meet the first Thursday of every month starting in October through June.  Books will be ordered in August and dispersed once received.
