The Short Story Salon offers a great (and relatively easy) introduction to the Salon work. These two sharp and witty pieces provide an accessible breadth of writing for our discussion—loads to consider on the nature of language, perspective and narration. We need a few more participants to join those already registered—if you have been interested in trying a Salon, this would be a perfect place to dive in.
The other study is Oresteia by Aeschylus (trans Ted Hughes).
From Beowulf through The Odyssey, our study of the classics informs our understanding of the role of art and literature in forming our sense of ourselves and human history. This will be the first Salon study of the Oresteia so will have the energy of new & unexplored territory. Aeschylus explores the shift from a world ruled by force and feud to a time when human rationale and the early ideas of civilisation start to inform law and behaviour.
