Little Women – Jo vs. Amy but make it Elena vs. Lila
Posted by: Alexandra MacPhee
The book that I chose to read this week was “My Brilliant Friend” by Elena Ferrante. I think I chose this book in the beginning of the semester because it sounded familiar and now I know why – there’s a TV Show adaptation on Crave! Never watched it but now I might have to as […] read full post >>

Faces in the Crowd: This is a ghost story
Posted by: Farahnaz
I really liked how this final novel seemed to link back to Marcel Proust’s novel (our very first book in the course) with the mechanism of using a train/subway to represent motion wether in time for Proust or in different stories for Luiselli’s novella. I think its interesting the emphasis on the subway being below […] read full post >>

Faces in the Crowd
Posted by: ksingh50
“Faces in the Crowd” by Valeria Luiselli was definitely not an ordinary novel. Its complex style of writing made it very hard to find meaning through the novel, which made me kind of sad because this is the last reading and I was expecting a lot from it. Luiselli deftly weaves a fragmented and profound […] read full post >>

Posted by: rickopoo
As we’re approaching the end of this term, I fully expected the last reading to end with a bang, something memorable – to wrap up the reading experience nicely.
