Midnight’s Children (Afternoon & Evening Studies) Start date changed to November 3

“Things–even people–have a way of leaking into each other” I explain, “like flavours when you cook.”–Midnight’s Children pg. 37 Saleem our narrator is trying to explain to his demanding audience why so many fragments of stories of others must be told before he is even born into his own…and hitting upon a vein of relational truth.

Due to illness, vacations and life’s accidents, the Midnight’s Children Salon (both afternoon and evening sections) will be starting on November 3rd. There are three or four spaces remaining in both groups- please use the events page to register or contact me for enquires…

I am looking ahead from the depths of To the Lighthouse, Paradiso and Paradise Lost where we have been having some rich conversations around the nature of free will and gender, the imperialism of truth, the endless attempt to describe the indescribable, the social construction of love and romance, the omniscience of grief…all inspired by the words. Beautiful words.

Here is the upcoming Salon schedule with Salon studies short, long and in-between to fit with the demanding schedules we all dance within. For those who were unable to join the extended study of To the Lighthouse, there is a Salon evening intensive in early November—you need to have the book read in preparation for this study. Thanks to those who voted on the website, Hamlet will be studied in November; The Odyssey is next. Midnight’s Children has been rescheduled to start mid-October…this is a playful and powerful read and the film is about to be released. More details and descriptions can be found on the events page for each Salon. Please do register soon (Salons limited to 10 participants) and start reading!

The next study to start in London is in October, Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure which is being performed in Stratford starting in November. Come read and understand the play and then join us for the production…many have found that the study deepens the enjoyment of the play immeasurably.

I always welcome suggestions for future Salons (someone recently suggested The Picture of Dorian Gray…there’s an idea!). Use the poll above for Tuesday afternoon Salon choice for November—now is a good time to weigh in. Do let me know as well your preference for scheduling: short or long Salons, afternoon or evenings…and Ulysses awaits in 2012…
