About this Event

Due to limited resources, we are UNABLE TO ACCEPT LATE BOOKINGS after this date.

This course will be held in room 2F10 of the Dalhousie Building of the University of Dundee.


A book club with a difference. Each week a different tutor presents a work of literature from across the genres and facilitates a lively discussion. Literature offers us an alternative view of the world or an escape into the imaginations of the fiction writer and the poet. It creates characters we love or hate and challenges our perceptions.

The works which the group members are asked to read in advance and will be discussed are:

Week 1 – 10th October 2024

Tutor: Rebecca Brown

Work: A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders

Week 2 – 17th October 2024

Tutor: Garry MacKenzie

Work: The Life of Rebecca Jones by Angharad Price

Week 3 – 24th October 2024

TTutor: Beth McDonough

Work: My Name is Abilene by Elisabeth Sennitt Clough

Week 4 – 31st October 2024

Tutor: Nicole Brandon

Work: Deep Wheel Orcadia by Harry Josephine Giles

Week 5 – 7th November 2024

Work: Alison Bell

Work:The Colour by Rose Tremain

Week 6 – 14th November 2024

Work: Sarah Coakley

Work: Lady MacBethad by Isabelle Schuler

Discussion questions devised by the tutors will be emailed out to class attendees on signing up for the course.
