allthelight As professors plan content for fall and spring courses, it may be helpful to note that the Read UP selection next year will be Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See, according to Karen Eifler, Garaventa Center. Students and the entire UP community will have access to the book and several discussion groups will take place in residence halls and the Clark Library. The author will be on campus for a free public lecture on Monday, February 27, as a guest of the Schoenfeldt Series.

This book may tie in well for courses addressing World War Two, ethical formation, pacifism, fascism, and more. Plus it’s just a great, vibrant tale.
