SALON INTENSIVE CHOICES:
The Salon Intensive is designed to provide a full immersion in a shorter work of literature in one 4 or 5 hour intensive study. Readers will want to read the work in preparation; we usually share a potluck meal midway through the evening to feed our bodies while our minds are humming along…
Please vote by email either through the ‘contact’ page or email litsalon@gmail.com by Sept. 6th– the study will take place late October- or mid-November:
• The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
• “The Dead” by James Joyce
• “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin
Proust, Faulkner, Joyce: the names may be weighty, but once in the work, the beauty of the language and the provocation of ideas and deeper contemplation buoys us up. I hope you can join us for these dynamic studies.
