Do you like reading in English? Are you interested in classical as well as contemporary literature? Would you like to get more out of the book you are currently reading? Can you imagine discussing your impressions with others who have also read this book? Do you wish to exercise and improve your speaking skills? If two or more of the above apply, then why not sign up for an adventure into the world of fiction? We buy our own books and meet once in month. Book to be read for the first session: Benjamin Myers – The Offing.
Intrigue, vanity, compassion, epiphany, fear, and wonder, all compressed into the space of a few pages. In cultivating such moods and states, flash fiction is as equally brilliant for what it includes in print as for what it leaves to our imaginations! Each class, we will discuss one of the twentieth-century stories from the „DTV zweisprachig“ collection "22 kurze Kurzgeschichten", beginning with John Updike‘s "The Abandoned Swimming Pool" (please read the story before our first Zoom meeting) and continuing in subsequent classes with selections by Graham Greene, James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway, among others. For your reading ease, each story can be read in the original English with a German translation on each facing page. Nach der Anmeldung erhalten Sie rechtzeitig den nötigen Link, mit dem Sie sich bequem von jedem Ort aus auf einem entsprechenden Gerät einloggen können.
