Talks & discussions

About event

Please apologize for everyone. I had some family issues that emerged in recent weeks and I am very late. I hope there is still time for everyone to read something!

Discussion about 2 stories, the fault is of the Tlaxcaltecas of Elena Garro (Mexico) & When I was mortal of Javier Marías (Spain). In addition, we have a long fragment of a poem by Andrés Sánchez Robayna (the Canarías Islands, Spain) this month.

Please ignore the RSVPS limit, it is due to Meetup's basic/free plan, feel free to come regardless of whether the limit has been reached. If you want to confirm your assistance but the group is full, you can add to the Waitlist ("Join Waitlist") to let me know how many people I can expect - I will not be able to move from the Waitlist, but they see the same!

The first half hour is informal talk, then 30-45 minutes for each story.

Please read at least one of the stories before attending.
