🖊️活動介紹 About the Event
歡迎來參與台灣短篇小説讀書會的第十次聚會！我們是以雙語（英文和中文）來討論短篇故事的文學愛好者，大約每兩個月在臺北聚會一次。在活動當中，我們將分成英文和中文的討論小組，透過討論問題進行深入閱讀和詮釋。在這個分享和積極聆聽的空間中，我們希望參與者能夠通過討論的過程而獲得新的視角，同時也能發展批判性閱讀和論述能力。我們選擇的文本也會讓讀者更加瞭解與台灣身份相關的文學、歷史、政治、和審美主題。
Come join the eleventh meeting of the Short Story Club! We are a Chinese-English bilingual short story discussion group that meets in Taipei about once every 2 months. During the meeting, we will divide into smaller, language-specific groups to close-read and interpret the text with the support of a series of discussion questions. In this space of sharing and active listening, we hope participants will gain new perspectives from one another while developing as critical readers in conversation. Through our readings, we will also learn about the complex literary, historical, political, and aesthetic themes related to Taiwanese identity.
請在活動之前讀完作品的中文或英文版，這樣我們才能夠提出各種不同的問題和想法。我們建議大家來活動時帶著作品的紙本或電子版本，方便隨時參考。
Please complete a reading of the Chinese or English version of the text before the meeting so you can share your ideas and questions. We recommend having the text with you (e.g. on your phone or as a print-out) to reference during the discussion.
