Longmont Library is thrilled to announce an exclusive author event featuring local author Rachel Feder, presenting her highly anticipated book “The Darcy Myth: Jane Austen, Literary Heartthrobs and the Monsters They Taught Us to Love.” The event is scheduled from 6-7 pm on Wednesday, February. 7 in the Longmont Library Meeting Rooms, 409 4th Avenue.
Author Rachel Feder
Feder, who is a literary scholar and associate professor at the University of Denver, offers a funny, brainy, eye-opening take on how our contemporary love stories are terrifying. Covering cultural touchstones ranging from Normal People to Taylor Swift and from Lord Byron to The Bachelor, “The Darcy Myth” is a book for anyone who loves thinking deeply about literature and culture—whether it’s Jane Austen or not.
Attendees can anticipate an engaging discussion led by Feder herself and offers a rare opportunity for fans of Austen’s work, literary enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the power of fictional characters to come together and explore the secrets behind the enduring fascination with Mr. Darcy. Rachel Feder will stay a short while after the event to sign books and engage with attendees.
Admission to the event is free, but registration is required due to limited seating. To secure a seat for this exclusive event on February 7, please register online at bit.ly/LibAdults or call the library’s reference desk at 303-651-8472.
