If you enjoy literature and would like to find a group of likeminded people to chat about books with, then this is the session for you. The course will provide an opportunity to read a bunch of the best short stories ever written and to discuss them in a friendly, supportive and encouraging environment. We will explore a range of stories, from contemporary work to classics, looking at how the different writers engage the reader. The focus of the sessions will be the group’s responses to the stories – the best lessons are always where we have different ideas! You don’t need to have any expertise to do the course – just a willingness to do a little reading and give your own views.
Please note there will be no lesson the week of half term. Please follow this link for term dates
