LITERARY GATHERING
LA ANALFABETA
Monday 21 July at 18:30 at Marbella Club
(Only for AMUM members)
By Agota Kristof
We will meet to discuss La analfabeta (The Illiterate) (Ediciones Alpha Decay, 2015, 64 pages) by the Hungarian-Swiss writer Agota Kristof. An autobiographical work of eleven short chapters in which the author of Claus and Lucas takes us back to her happy childhood, the loneliness of boarding school, the flight from her homeland to Switzerland and her adaptation to a new life and a new language, French. A gripping text that ensures a good debate.
We look forward to seeing you!
