Join Brian Nellist for a nine-week reading adventure! With more than fifty years’ experience teaching and sharing literature, Brian brings serious wisdom, deep attention and infectious gusto to this popular summer course. Many short stories are too long to be read aloud at a single sitting so this year four of them will be spread over nine weeks. They are all by Irish writers: Sheridan Le Fanu, James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen and William Trevor. They include a ghost, a New Year party, a memory of childhood and the discovery of an infidelity. Texts for each week will be provided in instalments and if you miss a session the next issue can be sent on to you.
Sessions will run from 10.30am – 12.30pm for nine consecutive Tuesdays beginning Tuesday 31 May until Tuesday 26 July. All sessions will take place at Lauries Community Centre, 142 Claughton Road, Birkenhead CH41 6EY.
The cost of the course is £60, with concessions for pensioners, students and those receiving income support (£50) and Get Into Reading members (£40). To book your place, complete the booking form, or contact Mark Till, Training Administrator, on marktill@thereader.org.uk or 0151 794 2286.
