We wish to send our greatest appreciation to Cornwall author Roxana Robinson as the leader of this popular event. If you’d like to remember this series with a work of hers, signed and inscribed to you, these are available from the House of Books in Kent, Connecticut.

***

Author and Cornwall resident Roxana Robinson will lead a discussion of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, for 9 weeks, January 12 through March 9, 2021, from 4 to 5:30pm. Each week Roxana Robinson will read from the text and discuss a section of the novel. All are welcome – if you have read the book years ago or if you have never started it, join us in exploring this rich and compelling work.

Roxana Robinson is the author of 9 books of fiction and the biography of Georgia O’Keeffe. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic and The New York Times. She has received fellowships from the NEA and the Guggenheim Foundation. She is President Emeritus of the Authors Guild and teaches in the MFA Program at Hunter College. www.roxanarobinson.com
