At Marylhurst University Library: Poor Decisions

Professor Brian Els, Department of History at University of Portland will speak about how Doerr’s novel touches on a great number of themes related to power, responsibility, and the results of decisions people make even when they are young.  What does it mean to come of age in a time of economic chaos and dictatorship?   Werner’s character, in particular, challenges the reader to question how we might respond to the subtle enchantment of totalitarianism.
