The latest literature course to be offered under the sponsorship of Rappahannock Community College’s Educational Foundation, the Rappahannock Institute for Lifelong Learning (RILL), will be “Edna O’Brien: A Literary Journey.” The course, taught by Gail Kenna, will be held on Thursdays May 7, 14, 21 and 28 from 1-3 p.m. at RCC’s Kilmarnock Center.

Several novels by the Irish author will be explored and discussed—“Country Girls” (trilogy), “Light in the Evening” and ‘Little Red Chairs.” O’Brien began her literary career in the 1960s and is noted for her portrayal of women and their repressive and isolated lives during earlier decades in Ireland.

Advance registration, with a tuition payment of $35, is required to take this course.
