July Translated Fiction Book Club, at Heffers Bookshop

Join us for our translated fiction book club on the last Wednesday of every month. For July, we're reading Pedro Paramo.
About this Event

Pedro Paramo is a masterful slice of Latin American surrealism, expertly translated from the Spanish in this modern edition by Douglas Weatherford. When a young man makes a promise to his dying mother to find his father, Pedro Paramo, who absconded many years before, he finds himself on a journey across rural Mexico. A parched and dusty road leads him to a ghost town. Comola is haunted by a multitude of voices and memories. The most notable spectre? The eponymous and ineffable Pedro Paramo: patriarch, murderer, myth.

We'll be meeting in the secondhand section on the shop's basement floor. Come along for tea, biscuits, and a laid back discussion of this wonderful work.
