NCMA W-S Book Club
This spring, Book Club is π§π°πΆπ―π₯ πͺπ― π΅π³π’π―π΄ππ’π΅πͺπ°π―, exploring foreign landscapes both internal and external in search of the feelings and realizations that make us human. The book selections, all originally published in languages other than English, introduce us to characters and cultures different from those that occupy much of American and British literature. What do we gain when such stories are brought into English? How is our understanding of the world β and ourselves β affected by stories from other countries? Join us for what might be our most ambitious set of novels yet.
Book Club is going offsite this season. This discussion will take place downstairs at Lot 63 (614 S Main St. Winston-Salem, NC 27101).
