Registration for this course is closed. Let’s complete our exploration of Louise Penny’s ongoing mystery series about Armand Gamache, Chief Inspector of the Sûreté du Quebec, and the villagers of Three Pines. We will focus on overarching themes, character development, and literary devices in the books, with attention to the arts, cultural elements, history, humor, philosophy and even food in these award-winning novels. The class sessions/titles to be read in advance are as follows: 1. April 11: “A Better Man” and “All the Devils Are Here” 2. May 9: “The Madness of Crowds” 3. June 6: “A World of Curiosities” 4. June 13: a look back at the whole series. NOTE: This is Part 3 of a year-long, 12-session course and is open to students who did not take Parts 1 or 2. Participants should read the specific titles before each lecture/discussion session. The sessions are NOT on consecutive weeks, and the last session is after the end of the OLLI term.
