Herta Muller, The Land of Green Plums

14 December 2009, by Diana Varbanescu

Responding to Pan London Book Circle's invite (see our June 09 joint meeting), we're having our first joint meeting in January to discuss Herta Muller's The Land of Green Plums (English translation by Michael Hofmann). As you might already be aware, Romanian-born novelist Herta Muller has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature.

How it works

- we meet at 7 pm to discuss a specific book: Herta Muller's The Land of Green Plums is our choice for 17th January;

- someone volunteers to present the book (this only means introducing it and saying a few things to get the discussion going)

- we discuss the book for up to an hour, then stop for something to eat (we each bring food and drink to share)

- the evening ends between 9.30 - 10.00pm, having chosen the next date and venue.

 

Whether you already are a member, or you are new to our group, if you read, enjoy literature and you're ready to discuss The Land of Green Plums, you're in the right place! Please let us know if you're interested in joining this meeting (either by leaving a comment here or by emailing contact@coeusarts.com)!

As I have already mentioned, it'll be a smaller group this time, maximum 10 of us, so we'll have to confirm guests on a first-come first-served basis.

  • Very sorry to say but I wont be able to make it for tomorrow unless I get back from the airport (have some obligations to provide transport for someone travelling) in time for the meeting. Did not manage to read the book either , lots of work to do. I will have to reconsider my promises next time as it looks like there is very little time for reading at weekends. I would have loved to there though! Love, Crina xxxxx
