Description
The Quest of Mattie Ross: True Grit as Hero and Travel Literature With Mike Lunsford, Author
Join local author Mike Lunsford as he discusses the young heroine, Mattie Ross, and her place in the American literary tradition on March 24 at 3 pm at Westminster Village. The program is in partnership with OLLI and the “Wabash Valley Community Read.” True Grit is, perhaps above all, a book about the making of heroes and the journeys they undertake. Mike will discuss both their story and the role of the journey in our own lives.
The author of four books, Mike writes “The Off Season,” a human interest column for the Terre Haute Tribune-Star and has taught high school English, American History, and Humanities for 36 years.
