Dr. Bob Wyatt, from East Central University, will lead the “Mysterious Fears and Ghastly Longings” book discussion next Tuesday evening, October 10, at 7:00 p.m.
Wyatt will compare Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein to Robin Cook’s Mutation. Mutation begins with the birth of a baby who possesses the consciousness and awareness of an adult.
The book explores the themes of surrogate motherhood, alterations in living cells and genetic engineering. Dr. Robin Cook, who graduated from Columbia University Medical School, is well-known for his medical suspense novels.
Mary Shelley was only 19 years old when she wrote Frankenstein in 1816. The book started as part of a friendly contest among friends to write a ghost story.
Participants interested in the discussion may check out the books from the Mustang Public Library. The Let’s Talk About It Oklahoma book discussion series is provided by a grant from the Oklahoma Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
