COURSES – SPRING 2026 (Under Dev) / Literature / WONDERFUL BOOKS OUT LOUD: SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM

Coordinators: Harriet Finkelstein Larry Shapiro, Ruth Ward

When published in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem was critically acclaimed and cemented Joan Didion’s reputation as a uniquely insightful cultural observer.

For many readers, its themes of anxiety, societal fragmentation, and the search for meaning continue to resonate in the modern era. The writing is tight and scrappy; the work of Joan Didion is not simply prose, it is art. Join us as we revel in reading aloud Slouching Towards Bethlehem.
