Please join the Charleston Library Society and Buxton Books in welcoming author Jeffrey H. Jackson for a conversation on his recent book, Paper Bullets: Two Artists Who Risked Their Lives to Defy the Nazis. Paper Bullets is the first book to tell the history of an audacious anti-Nazi campaign undertaken by an unlikely pair: two French women, Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe (artist names Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore), who drew on their skills as Parisian avant-garde artists to write and distribute “paper bullets”—wicked insults against Hitler, calls to rebel, and subversive fictional dialogues designed to demoralize Nazi troops occupying their adopted home on the British Channel Island of Jersey. Paper Bullets is a compelling World War II story that has not been told before, about the galvanizing power of art, and of resistance.

This event is free, but an RSVP is required. To RSVP, fill out the RSVP form at the bottom of the page. You will receive your Zoom invitation email on the day of the event.
