On September 26 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST at the Alvin Sherman Library, PEN America, in partnership with the Applied Humanities department at Nova Southeastern University, will host a panel discussion on the oft banned and challenged literary masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude by renowned Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Part of the Applied Humanities department’s Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind series, this unique panel discussion will not only look at Marquez’s seminal work through the lens of Hispanic Heritage Month, but this panel will also interrogate why this work has been the target of book banners with the aid of PEN America’s own Katie Blankenship. Katie will be joined by Nelson Bass, the Chair of the Department of Humanities and Politics at Nova Southeastern University, and Laura Lucio Ramirez, Assistant Director of Academic and Research Services at Nova Southeastern University’s Alvin Sherman Library.
