Online Events Calendar
One of the (few) bright spots of the pandemic is the number of virtual programs — talks, exhibits, tours, discussions, and more — available online, removing the requirement of in-person attendance. The Jane Austen/Regency world has a growing number of online events of interest to our community. We’ve set up this Online Event Calendar to help you find some of them. Please check the listings and be sure to convert the event times (which are local to the organizers) to your location. To submit an event for the calendar, email news@jasnanorcal.org Note: JASNA regional events are also listed on the organization’s web site: http://jasna.org/conferences-events/

Mary Bennet’s Surprising New Friend
October 24, 2020 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm PDT
Just in time for the spooky season, share in a book discussion of Pride and Prometheus by John Kessel. RC Jeanne Talbot of the JASNA San Diego region will lead the discussion about this book, which blends aspects of Pride and Prejudice with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Twelve years after the end of Austen’s tale, Mary Bennet meets Victor Frankenstein and finds him strangely compelling. Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club, calls it “dark and gripping.” You have been warned!
This free event is for members only. To register, please email your full name, email address, and Region to ashorago@gmail.com. Please note: the time listed is Pacific Time.
