Stephen King has described Different Seasons as “a book with stories in it about an offbeat prison break, an old man and a boy locked up in a gruesome relationship based on mutual parasitism, a quartet of country boys on a journey of discovery, and an offbeat horror story about a young woman determined to give birth to her child no matter what (or maybe the story is actually about that odd club that isn’t a club).” Each week Bill will introduce the reading and offer some topics and questions for the online discussion board, inviting participants to pose additional topics. Then during the week participants will all engage in group discussion. At the end of the week Bill will summarize several of the discussion strands, again asking participants to summarize responses as well. In this four-week online class, engage and discuss with your OLLI peers in a fun, user-friendly online format; presession guidance and support available.
