Gather 'round for a table read of What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver as we launch the Short Story Book Club!
Event hosted in English
Book of the Month: What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver
About the Book: This powerful collection of stories, set in the mid-West among the lonely men and women who drink, fish and play cards to ease the passing of time, was the first by Raymond Carver to be published in the UK.
The entire collection will be open to discussion, but we will particularly focus on the title story, which is set around a table where the characters all discuss what their personal definition of “love” is based on their past experiences. It’s a deeply profound story that gets at the root of love, loss, relationships, and the struggle to communicate these feelings and experiences to one another through language.
Moderated by Samuel Miller
