JACK ZIPES: Professor emeritus in the University of Minnesota department of German, Nordic, Slavic and Dutch discusses his books “Remember the Jewish and German Questions” and his magical Wellikans trilogy that begins with “The Wrath of Peace or How the Wellikans Saved the World,” followed by “Lost and Found or How the Wellikans Helped the Twins Avoid a Catastrophe” and “Home Is Not So Sweet or How the Wellikans and the Twins Found Truth.”
In the first book, young witches Anja and Zack, who can turn themselves into birds, search for their parents after ruthless dictator Nexus takes control of society. Guided by an elderly witch, they find allies among the Wellikans, small people who live in underground villages connected by tunnels. As the series continues, the twins find their parents, grow up, fall in love and fight dictatorship. There are thought-provoking issues here, including manipulation of news to those who “can’t think for themselves,” the power of dictators and how the twins and their friends fight repression with resistance and defiance. 7 p.m. Tuesday, Magers & Quinn, 3038 Hennepin Ave. S., Mpls. Free. Registration required at magersandquinn.com.
