«The Maximum Security Book Club» is a memoir by Mikita Brottman, published by HarperCollins in hardcover (272 pages, in English).
Mikita Brottman recounts the two years she ran a book club with inmates of a maximum-security prison in Maryland. The prisoners read demanding classics such as Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness', Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' and Nabokov's 'Lolita', and their debates opened up unforeseen interpretations and confidences about their lives and their guilt.
The book club took place at the Jessup Correctional Institution in Maryland; the ten selected works also included 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' and 'The Black Cat'.
For readers of memoirs and nonfiction interested in literature as a transformative experience, the classics and life in prison.
