All literature lovers
- To share the joys of reading short fiction.
- To discuss and exchange ideas on the short stories.
- To build strategies that will enable the participants to take an active role in the creation of the meaning of the texts.
Literary texts provide unique ways of representing and exploring the workings of the human mind and the alternative inner world of the other: they are bridges into the self and into otherness. The stories to be discussed in this workshop are attempts to explore that duality; they represent ways into worlds and realities that are alien and familiar at the same time, disquieting and beautiful, unsettling and liberating.
- Presentation of an integrated approach to the texts.
- Guided group reflection and exchange of ideas on the texts.
- Reading of key sections of the short stories to appreciate their narrative power.
- Adichie, Chimamanda. “The Arrangers of Marriages”
- Coetzee, John Maxwell. “Make him Sing”
- Barnes, Julian. "Pulse"
- Lahiri, Jhumpa. “A Temporary Matter”
