It is 1923 in England and ailing novelist Virginia Woolf is starting to write her novel, “Mrs. Dalloway” in the film, “The Hours” which will be shown on Monday, February 24 at 6 p.m. In 1951 Los Angeles, Laura Brown is a housewife who is planning her husband’s birthday, but is preoccupied with reading Woolf’s novel. In 2001 New York, Clarrisa Vaughn is planning an award party for her friend, an author dying of AIDS. Taking place over one day, all three stories are interconnected with the novel “Mrs. Dalloway,” as one is writing it, one is reading it, and one is living it. Deane Tucker, Professor of Humanities at Chadron State College will facilitate the discussion in this Social Issues Series which will include a light meal and discussion with participants at WWC. The film is rated PG-13 and is 144 minutes.
A new book by Lisa Gardner is “Fear Nothing.” The last thing Boston Detective D. D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark.

There’s been another murder with the same calling card: a bottle of champagne and a single red rose. The only person who may have seen the killer is D. D. – who can’t recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything.
