We continue with the Reading Club meetings to analyze and discuss different works of North American literature, in a new format and with a new facilitator.
After a prior individualized reading, the works will be discussed in groups on the day of the meeting. We have María Willstedt as moderator who will make a brief introduction, ask questions and encourage the conversation.
For the month of March, joining the celebration of “Women's History Month”, we will focus on the story “A Stunning Blonde” by Dorothy Parker.
are available Internet in Spanish but you can also read in any of the editions published in paper.
“If anyone managed to bring together in a few pages all the miseries and splendors of the female condition, it was Dorothy Parker. In most of her stories the protagonists are women who lose themselves in ridiculous loves, who insist on believing eternal relationships dictated only by the passing desire of a man, who use their fragility as a weapon of seduction, a weapon that is often returns against them, leaving them mortally wounded. "Dorothy Parker's stories are not a feminist statement, but rather an intelligent and cynical look at the world of women, and although more than half a century has passed, the relevance of her ideas remains completely valid."
