We meet, as usual, on alternate Mondays from 7.30-9pm in the upstairs seminar room at Darwin College. Please contact Melanie Keene (mjk32) if you have any questions about the group, or if you would like to volunteer to introduce one of the sessions.

The link for the "Use of Force" connects to the Hemingway story again. Please amend.
Hi,
I really enjoyed the meeting yesterday.
Following up on a comment on Stanislav Lem, his first novel (written in 1948 and published in 1955) is called "Hospital of the Transfiguration" in English. Some information on this work can be found at:
