It’s almost summer, and that means it’s time for the Low Maintenance Book Club Big Books Edition! This year, we’ll be reading Don Quixote, sometimes described as a founding novel of Western Literature and/or the greatest work ever written. Do you agree? Let’s discuss!
Since this work is especially epic, we’ll cover it over four meetings. The fourth and final discussion will take place on Thursday, August 22nd at noon over Zoom and will cover the second part from chapter XXXVII to the end. Although you’re welcome to read any translation, we recommend works by Grossman, Raffel or Jarvis.
Our first discussion took place on Wednesday, May 22nd and covered Part I & II.
Our second discussion took place on Thursday, June 20th and covered Part III & IV
Our third discussion took place on Thursday, July 18th and covered the second part from the dedication through chapter XXXVI
Although the readings are longer, the low maintenance attitude is the same. Join as you like, discuss as much as you want–or just hang out and enjoy the company. Everyone is welcome. Just RSVP so we know how many to expect, and we’ll send out a Zoom link the morning of the meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact Arianne Hartsell-Gundy (aah39@duke.edu).
