Lisa Von Drasek asked:
"Will the discussion be structured so that it only books on the table or will we be bringing other books by those authors into it through comments identifying intertextual connections...fIs a month a long time to discuss two books?.... Would we ask the authors to visit the last week of the month?"
The book discussions will take place the second part of the month, so won't be month-long, and yes, where possible, we are hoping to have authors join us.
One of our goals in announcing books ahead of time is that we want people who are interested to have a chance to seek out and read the selected books so that we can have substantive discussion on the titles themselves. The way we think about it at the in-person discussions at the CCBC is that the books on the list / table are the books we as a group have in common, and at those discsussions we stay focused on those books--it challenges us all to dig deeper regarding our thoughts about those titles, rather than moving away from them by bringing in other books to talk about. Here on CCBC-Net, the books we announce are the books on our virtual table that we have in common.
However, yes to the value of intertextual connections! Perhaps we can open the discussion to additional book ideas--by the same author and beyond those authors--as the discussion on the books themselves wind down. We don't want to make it too rigid; and of course there will be flow and experimentation to how this works. On the the other hand, we do want to try to encourage deep discussion of the selected titles.
