“Literature in Time” provides for an alternative to the Book Club. It focuses on the analysis of small texts from various authors selected by the cultural team. The selection is adaptable according to the group’s desires and aspirations. The sessions are mainly based on the discussion and analysis of the extracts with the group and the cultural team. The texts being smaller than an entire book, there is a session every two weeks, but you can choose to join us whenever you desire.

Pour un oui ou pour un non” is a play written by Nathalie Sarraute in 1981. The core of the synopsis is a futile -yet of great importance- argument between two friends, about a single sentence, pronounced before the begining of the play : “C’est bien, ça”. The tone, the intention behind it and the circomstances are meticulously analysed, giving us a clear impression of the unspeakable nature of language.

The Book Club, taking place on Mondays, is a unique opportunity to discuss literature in a friendly and dynamic group environment. This club is about expressing your views and opinion towards a book, explaining why you appreciated it -or not-, and what moved you or made you laugh. 7 sessions are scheduled for this year, giving you time to read it fully and peacefully. You may join us for the entire period or choose which sessions you would like to attend.

I enjoyed the talk on Friday given by Nicolas. All praise to him for delivering it in such good English.

Je voulais juste dire que moi aussi j’ai aimé ces petits amuse-bouche de la littérature française donnés au cours du book club en ligne pendant le confinement. C’était d’autant plus agréable que je pouvais y accéder de ma ville à 40 km de Cambridge! Merci Gaël pour vos explications sur les auteurs et les textes.

Merci d’avoir mis en place le Book Club en ligne. Je trouve que nos séances ont été réussies même chez Zoom, tout le monde a eu l’occasion de participer, même plus peut-être que dans notre situation normale. Le choix de courts morceaux – contes, poèmes – a donné la possibilité de beaucoup de variété dans la même heure, la discussion n’a pas tari, et merci à Gaël de nous avoir fourni tant de mises en scène.

I have been happy with all the teachers we have had and all the subject matter – bottom line for me is that it is French and there is always something to learnI am also very much enjoying the Club de Lecture never having been able before Covid to attend.Gael is very ‘sympa ‘ and knowledgable.
