A bookclub but with a difference - just a few passages to read & discuss in a relaxed environment. Perfect for a book few people have read.
Slow down, read closely, think and discuss - that's what we are asking you to do in this club. For banned book week, Debbie Challis has choosen a few passages from James Joyce's Ulysses. Turn off your smart phones, step away from the hectic pace of life, and discuss words.
Includes a tea or coffee.
Dr Debbie Challis is Creative Producer of the Portico Library and a cultural historian with an expertise on the reception of classical antiquity in the nineteenth century. She is currently researching and writing about the life of a mid Victorian female artist called Mary Severn. She is an expert on Alex Andreou's Podyssey and her work can be found on drdebbiechallis.com.
