On November 14, 2004,
the Milwaukee Public Library sponsored a panel discussion
related to the traveling Frankenstein exhibit. The panelists
were bioethicist Dr. Art Derse, Prof. Diane Hoeveler, author
Bill Gagliani, with librarian Beverly DeWeese as moderator.
Discussion on Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN ranged from its
feminist themes and horror tropes, questions of medical ethics,
and the many film adaptations of the engrossing tale, along
with various interpretations of the "monster" and
its "creator," and the work's amazing continued
relevance. (All photos by Janis Radziun)
