“Frankenstein”

SEPTEMBER 3 -- OCTOBER 3, 2003

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a classic of world literature about a scientist whose experiments to create a human being unleash a monster, is the centerpiece of the second annual “One Book, One Community” program sponsored by the City of East Lansing and Michigan State University.

The program gets under way on Wednesday, September 3, with a book discussion for first-year MSU students. A campus/community kick-off gala will take place on September 5.  A full slate of programming—including reading groups, panel discussions, fun family events, a campus/community dinner, an essay contest, and a costume ball—will run through October 3. All events are open to the public and most are free!
