You can catch a panel of Lincoln City Library staffers — Lisa, Marcy, Layne and Scott — discussing this year’s One Book — One Lincoln selection, The Thirteenth Tale, on a new episode of City Focus.
City Focus is a public affairs information series that airs on 5CityTV — the city of Lincoln’s government and public-access television network, available on channel 5 on Lincoln’s Time-Warner Cable. For a schedule of when City Focus airs during October, check out 5CityTV’s online schedule page.
Lisa and Layne, both from the Eiseley Branch Library, can be heard discussing this year’s One Book — One Lincoln selection, The Thirteenth Tale, in episode #17 of ‘Casting About.
‘Casting About is the weekly audio podcast put together by the staff of BookGuide and the Lincoln City Libraries. You can see our list of all past podcast episodes, and sign up to receive new episodes via RSS feed, at our Podcasts page.
We encourage you to participate in One Book One Lincoln online by responding to the Book Discussion Questions, such as this one:
Discussion Question #1
Titles like The Woman in White, The Castle of Otranto, Lady Audley’s Secret, Wuthering Heights, and of course, Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre all figure prominently in Setterfield’s plot. And, of course, Margaret and Vita Winter are both authors as well as people who are passionate about books. What other ways do books and the love of books figure into the plot?
If you enjoyed the traditional “gothic” elements of The Thirteenth Tale, you might want to wander over to our Love and Danger: Gothics! booklist, on the libraries’ BookGuide readers tools web site, for several dozen more suggestions of additional gothic reading possibilities.
And, hey…if you’re a fan of Gothics, we want to know — what’s your favorite gothic novel?
