Join Clatsop Community College and Fort George Brewery for the next Ales & Ideas Lecture on Thursday, March 7th, 2024 at 7p.m. featuring author and CCC instructor Kama O’Connor.
Kama O’Connor, a Clatsop Community College writing instructor, writes and researches love stories and the ways they’ve changed over time. From ‘it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife,‘ to ‘ILY bae, BRB,’ the way authors—and humans—fall in love, talk about sex and other hazards of love, and even meet in the dating world has drastically shifted since Austen’s time. Though her romance novels end in a happily ever after like Jane Austen’s, O’Connor doesn’t have any doubt that Austen herself would get a good laugh out of modern love and the novels we write about it. Come hear more about the history of love stories and why they are the most enduring, profitable form of literature to date.
Doors open at the Lovell Showroom at 6 p.m., with food, ales, and other beverages available; no purchase necessary. Minors are welcome at this FREE event.
