We meet on the second Thursday of every month. On June 10\, we’ll gather in our yellow living room to talk about \;\\"Where are you going\, where have you been?\\" by Joyce Carol Oats.
\;
You are invited. \;The reading group is accessible\, no matter what your confidence level. We take the perspective that no ideas are ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in literary criticism. There’s no conclusion to interpretation. \;
\;
For a digital copy of the story\, contact us using f\;l\;e\;t\;c\;h\;e\;r\;c\;o\;l\;l\;e\;c\;t\;i\;v\;e\;@\;g\;m\;a\;i\;l\;.\;c\;o\;m\;.
\;
\;
The reading group is participant lead. From the selection of the readings to the format of the discussions\, everything about the group is democratically determined. We’re open to anything – you name it\: fiction\, comics\, non-fiction\, poetry\, creative non-fiction – what we’re especially into is first-rate recommendations. \;What readings do you want to talk about?
