The Purloined Letter, Edgar Allen Poe

"The best place to hide something is in plain sight."

The Purloined Letter is a classic detective short story, the 3rd and most cerebral of Poe's Dupin Mysteries. It explores how language and objects derive meaning.

Key themes include logic, perception, and concealment.

The short story can be accessed for free with this link (PDF available): https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/2148

I will publish an agenda closer to the event to help guide the discussion.
Bring anything that will make you feel comfortable (sweater, water, coffee, etc.)

We will be in room 3-20A at the Central Library.
