“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.
Inspired largely by her own adolescence in French Indochina, Duras wrote this novel in 1950, just after divorcing her first husband and remarrying. The story presents a widow living with her two children. Their living conditions are deplorable : The mother, disillusioned after seeing her dams destroyed by the invincible Pacific and harassed by a corrupt administration, begins to sink into madness.

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.
