Geek Speak: Studying Society Through the Apocalyptic Novel
Nov. 5 | 4:00pm | Jonas 110
Join us for this week's Geek Speak! Dr. Laura Colmenero Chilberg will present, "Studying Society through the Apocalyptic
Novel: The Road, The Year of the Flood, The Stand, and On the Beach." Apocalyptic predications and literature about it
have been part of the landscape of the literary world for millennia. In reality, what is the Christian story of Noah but one
of apocalypse? We find this same attention to the “end of the world” in contemporary literature. Apocalyptic fiction really
speaks more to the concerns of the existing society than anything else. This presentation will look at one mid‐20th century
novel, Nevil Shute’s On the Beach and three more recent novels: Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, Margaret Atwood’s The
Year of the Flood, and Stephen King’s The Stand.
