4 March, 6:30 pm, on the sixth floor, ‘Spotlight on Twilight.’ Be There!

Can the Opera and Forks Reality Show be far behind? (H/T to Perelandra)
If you’re joining us after reading Lev Grossman’s piece in today’s TechLand/NerdWorld.com article What Twilight Means and this is your first visit to Forks High School Profesor.com, welcome! FHS Prof is the site for serious readers of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series and for those folks wanting to discuss the points made in my book, Spotlight: A Close-Up Look at the Artistry and Meaning of the Twilight Novels. (Yes, I hope you will buy a copy….)
Here are a few links to interesting posts and collections of posts in the hope you will join our discussions!
* The New Moon Posts: What is the Second Book Really About?
* Twilight and the Future of the Novel: Thoughts on a WSJ Editorial
* The Spectrum of Christian Opinion on Twilight
*A Twilight-focused editorial in the Washington Post and damning the series with faint praise,
* The Meaning of Mrs. Meyer’s denial of profound meaning in her books in August, 2008, and …
* A series of posts comparing the critical receptions Ms. Rowling’s and Mrs. Meyer’s popular series received.
And don’t neglect the Anne of Green Gables discussion just below this one for more on Coleridge, critical nominalism, and Bella as the ‘Heart’ Incarnate! Thanks again for joining us — and please share the site with friends you know who love literary discussions, whether they love or loathe Mrs. Meyer’s work. See you tomorrow!
