Diese Veranstaltung ist auf Englisch organisiert

This three-month reading programme explores three subjects, across seven chapters within the novel Flights by Nobel Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk.

Flights by Olga Togarczuk - a book, written in 116 short chapters, interweaving reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration.

Join one or all of the three reading sessions, on a Wednesday once a month for 3 months from 7-8 PM with occasional extensions for writing and feedback in sessions 2 and 3.

Once you have signed up, you will be sent selected reading via PDF a few weeks in advance. There will be an option for you to share your favourite paragraph during the session. You are very welcome to buy and read the whole book.

Second Session
Wed, 7 Feb 2024, 7 – 8 PM

This second session ‘WHAT’S IN YOUR BAG?’ will take place on Wednesday 13 March from 7– 8 PM (with the last 30 minutes dedicated to writing).

As the chapters are shorter, some OPTIONAL additional reading is also recommended:
** _The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction _by Ursula K. Le Guin **

Should you wish to do some writing, bring a pen and we will dedicate the end of the second half of the session to exploring some writing methods used by Olga Tokarczuk.
I encourage you to start reading the text when you can to have enough to finish the reading.
Should you now be able to attend or you can no longer attend please update your details on the Google form.

The third session will be held on the 17th of April.

**Programme curator **
Sessions will be led in English by Georgia Hall (she/her), an art curator, who has been running a peer book group to discuss women writers in the UK for the last three years.
