The National Steinbeck Center’s BIG READ of “Citizen” by Claudia Rankine Eric Mora, Marketing Director I am happy to report that the National Endowment for the Arts has awarded a 2017 Big Read grant to the National Steinbeck Center; the book selected is Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric. This is the second consecutive year that the National Steinbeck Center has received an NEA Big Read grant and the fourth time overall. Why Citizen: An American Lyric? As we reviewed the list of books approved by the National Endowment for the Arts for the Big Read program, I was pleased to see that the NEA had added many new titles. In the past, the NEA Big Read books list read like a syllabus for a high school English class and was comprised primarily of classics: To Kill A Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit 451, The Grapes of Wrath. A few years ago, the NEA began to phase out some of those books in favor of works by living authors such as Julia Alvarez (In The Time of the Butterflies), Jhumpa Lahiri (The Namesake), Emily St. John Mandel (Station Eleven), Ursula K. Le Guin (A Wizard of Earthsea). This year’s list represents the most drastic shift in that direction, with nearly every book by a living author. Citizen: An American Lyric stood out for me, in particular, because it presented the perfect opportunity to encourage frank discussions about race and, more broadly, about the way we treat one another. At 160 pages, Citizen is a Ways to get involved: quick but enthralling read. For me, no other book on the list 1. Read conveyed the sense of purpose and urgency that Citizen Citizen: An American Lyric does. Though Citizen is a little under 170 pages, you’ll be amazed by how much ground is covered in the book. Copies Around the time that we were considering which book to of Citizen will be available at the Salinas Public Library, select, I read an article by Walter Ryce in the Monterey Monterey County Free Libraries, Hartnell College Library, County Weekly, “Even when an encounter between police Monterey Library, CSUMB Library and of course at the and a man of color ends well, fear is in the air.” Walter National Steinbeck Center bookstore. recounted an incident that happened to him at work: the alarm at his office was accidentally triggered while he was 2.

  • Hemingwaytg 2014.Indd
    Examining an author’s life can inform and expand the reader’s understanding of a novel. Biographical criticism is the practice of analyzing a literary work through the lens of an author’s experience. In this lesson, explore the author’s life to understand the novel more fully. 1 Ernest Hemingway grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, one of six children. In Lesson One 1917, the year President Wilson declared war on Germany, Hemingway graduated from high school. Instead of going to college, he became a FOCUS: reporter for a small newspaper. As a journalist, Hemingway learned to write concisely, using active verbs and brief, clear paragraphs. Many young Biography men were entering the military, but Hemingway’s vision did not meet military standards. Instead, he applied to the Red Cross as an ambulance driver and, in 1918, found himself in France and then in Italy. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, draws on the details of his wartime injury, his friendships, and his love affairs. ?? Discussion Activities Listen to The Big Read Audio Guide. Students should take notes as they listen. Ask them to present the three most important points they learned from the Audio Guide. Distribute Reader’s Guide essays, “Introduction to the Novel,” “Ernest Hemingway, 1899- 1961,” and “Hemingway and World War I.” Divide the class into groups. Assign one essay to each group. After reading and discussing the essays, groups will present what they have learned to the class. Ask students to add creative twists to make their presentations memorable. ?? Writing Exercise Have students read Chapter I.
