📚
Different worlds collide here: different ways of seeing and experiencing life cross paths. In what way do they each ‘touch’ the other?
Is it a matter of encounter or clash?
What does it take to touch another person’s life? Is it always what we think it is? How can we tell?
📚.
In what ways can we make our intersections with others meaningful?
📚

Please join me on 5th December for an online reading group session to discuss these and many other questions around two short stories by Israeli writer Etgar Keret.
📚
You will be invited to take part in a conversation around questions of difference and othering in cultural encounter, which these texts will help us to reflect on. In this case, we will be looking at social othering.
📚
The Bibliotherapy workshop will take place via Zoom next Tuesday 5th December at 7.00pm GMT (UK time).
📚
The group will continue to meet in 2024 online once a month on a Tuesday at 7.00-8.30pm. Forthcoming dates are:

January 9th
February 6th
March 5th
📚
We will continue to explore the topic of identity and cultural encounter through stories by writers from all over the world including Amy Tan, George Saunders, Hisaye Yamamoto and Lucy Caldwell. Get in touch if you would like to know what we will be reading next!
📚
Texts are inlcuded and available in my library: https://marianacasale.com/library/ (once you join, I will send you the password together with the appropriate Zoom link).
📚
Places are limited to ensure that everyone has a chance to speak during each session.
📚
Fees are £16 per session or £60 for the next 4 months payable in advance via bank transfer or via payment platforms such as PayPal, Wise, Revolut, available internationally.
📚
Happy reading!
