  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (3 Weeks), Spring (3 Weeks), Summer (3 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 12
  • Start date: 17 October 2023
  • Description:

    We read modern European novels in translation with the group deciding which novels should be read each month in advance. This group has been running for seven years and we will continue to discover the most amazing literature. Reading prize winning work from other parts of Europe challenges perceptions and introduces us to previously unknown authors and their countries. Even if we are not able to travel, we can be taken to other places by reading and stories. This is a discussion group where everyone may contribute equally and no individual would be asked to 'lead'. We will contact you nearer to the start of the new academic year with the title of the first novel.

  • Format: Discussion

  • Co-ordinator: Kostadinka Grossmith
  • I was a member of this group for two years and much longer in other reading groups and love looking into the issues and merits of contemporary novels.

  • Coordinator: Mary MacGinley
  • Mary has been member of U3AC for the last 15 years and had participated in many literature courses during that time.
