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 April, joining the celebration of “National Poetry Month”, we will focus on the story “The Purloined Letter” by the narrator and poet Edgar Allan Poe.
are available Internet in Spanish but you can also read in any of the editions published in paper.
“American poet, narrator and critic, Edgar Allan Poe (Boston, 1809-Baltimore, 1849) is one of the best short story writers of all time. For another of the great specialists of the genre, the Argentine Julio Cortázar, Allan Poe was the great master of the modern short story, or literary tale. “Not only did he revalue this narrative subgenre, not sufficiently considered until then, with his theoretical writings about it, but he revitalized it in his literary practice, by writing many stories that have great expressive force and no less literary quality.”
