SPOTLIGHT ON LITERATURE ENJOY PROFILES OF LITERARY ICONS AND TUNE IN FOR NEW ADVENTURES FROM ONE OF LITERATURE’S MOST MEMORABLE CHARACTERS This month, as a complement to The Great American Read, PBS highlights authors who have captured the imagination of the nation through their inspiring literary works. Enjoy American Master’s profiles of Harper Lee, author of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and Margaret Mitchell who penned the sweeping civil war epic, “Gone With the Wind.” Join America’s favorite visual storyteller, Ken Burns, as he presents an illuminating portrait of Samuel Clemens in a two-part documentary special profiling the man once considered to be the funniest man in America.

MARGARET MITCHELL: AN AMERICAN REBEL

HARPER LEE: AMERICAN MASTERS

No ordinary writer - or woman - Mitchell was a charismatic force who challenged the Southern social order and struggled with the changing role of women and the liberation of African Americans. Tune in for her profile on Tue, Sept. 11 at 8pm.

Explore the mysterious life of Nelle Harper Lee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “To Kill a Mockingbird” and learn why she never published again. Join celebrity guests as they reflect on the novel’s power, influence, popularity, and the ways it has shaped our culture. Tune in Tue, Sept. 18 at 8pm.

KEN BURNS: MARK TWAIN Ken Burns: Mark Twain tells the story of the writer’s extraordinary life in two parts. Part one covers Clemens’ early life along the Mississippi River in Hannibal, Missouri, charts his rebirth as Mark Twain, and concludes with the publication of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” Part two explores the other side of the writer - an American icon who, through tragedy and bad financial decisions, falls hard with failure. Tune in Sat, Sept. 1 at 3pm for part one and Tue, Sept. 4 at 7pm for part two.

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES RETURNS TO WSIU Don’t miss the third installment of the classic Lucy Maud Montgomery story about a freespirited teenager living on Prince Edward Island.

THE GREAT AMERICAN READ RETURNS DON’T MISS THE SERIES KICKS-OFF EVENT ON TUE, SEPT. 11 AT 7PM The Great American Read returns this September with new episodes featuring reflections from everyday Americans, as well as figures in the entertainment, sports, news, and literary worlds.

This fall, the series delves into literature, exploring the dynamics that draw us into the world of books - from complex and relatable characters to fantastic imaginary worlds.

The series will also revisit literature’s most notorious villains & monsters and review the beautiful romances and friendships that have warmed our hearts. Tune in Tuesdays at 7pm beginning Sept. 11 and catch repeat broadcasts Sundays at 4pm. The program can also be streamed online via pbs.org and the PBS App. Don’t miss the final episode on Tue, Oct. 23 at 7pm to find out which book will be selected as America’s Best-Loved Novel!

Brian’s Song | Sun, Sept. 29 at 8pm Amid the racial tensions of the 1960s, teammates Brian Piccolo (James Caan) and Gale Sayers (Billy Dee Williams) develop a strong friendship which is tested when Piccolo receives some shattering news.

Blending historical narrative with contemporary patient stories, The Mayo Clinic: Faith • Hope • Science is a timely look at how one institution has met the changing demands of healthcare for 150 years—and what that can teach us about facing the challenges of patient care today.

Not only does the film provide an exploration into the history and formation of one of the nation’s greatest medicial insitutuions, but it also follows the stories of patients who have come to the Clinic looking for answers — and hope. They include:

“The history of healthcare is a larger reflection of who we are as a nation.

It includes advances in science and technology, but also touches on more universal themes of love and compassion.”

– KEN BURNS,

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
