Classics Book Club - Pedro Páramo

Join the Classics Book Club of Natick, meeting on May 1st at 7:30 p.m. at Ten Trees Books!

Monthly we host a classics book group discussion, which has been meeting for 20 years around the area. We can now announce they are accepting new members. The meetings take place on the first Thursday of the month, the April meeting will discuss “Pedro Páramo” by Juan Rulfo.

A masterpiece of the surreal that influenced a generation of writers in Latin America, Pedro Páramo is the otherworldly tale of one man's quest for his lost father. That man swears to his dying mother that he will find the father he has never met--Pedro Páramo--but when he reaches the town of Comala, he finds it haunted by memories and hallucinations. There emerges the tragic tale of Páramo himself, and the town whose every corner holds the taint of his rotten soul. Although initially published to a quiet reception, Pedro Páramo was soon recognized as a major novel that has served as a touchstone text for writers including Mario Vargas Llosa and José Donoso. Now published in a new translation from the definitive Spanish edition by celebrated Rulfo scholar Douglas J. Weatherford, and featuring a foreword by Gabriel García Márquez, this new edition of the novel cements its place as one of the seminal literary texts of the twentieth century.
