#ReadWithASM
From American Space Madrid and the Library of the International Institute, we continue with the Reading and Critical Thinking Club so that you can continue enjoying American literature from home.
Our last virtual meeting of the year will be dedicated to the analysis of “A Temporary Matter” by Jhumpa Lahiri (1967- ). Originally posted on The New Yorker in 1998, is the first to The interpreter of pain (Interpreter of Maladies, 1999), the book of short stories that won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. The story is available on the Internet both en español like in English. For those of you who prefer to read it on paper, we recommend the edition published by Salamandra in 2016, available at House of the book.
After an individualized reading, the work will be discussed in a group using the zoom tool. We have Karen Secrist, PhD. as moderator she will make a brief introduction, ask questions and encourage the conversation. We will also offer a reading guide to deepen understanding of the text and encourage conversation during the session.
Those registered for this activity will receive an email before the session to confirm participation in the virtual session.
