📚 About our sessions
Please read the stories listed below before attending. For every story we will start with summarizing the story so that we have it fresh in our minds. We will share our opinions about the story, which parts we liked and which we didn't like, and we will discuss any and all aspects of the story and the writing.

📖 About this session
For this session, we will read and discuss two stories where Latin American short story 🐐 Julio Cortázar seemingly uses children and their point of view as metaphors to very human emotions. Coincidentally, both stories are eponymous for two of his most acclaimed short story publications. Those stories are:

"End of the game" 🗽 - 1964 (ca 5000 words). Also available in Spanish here.

"Bestiary" 🐯 - 1951 (ca 6000 words). Also available in Spanish here.

After the discussion, feel free to stick around, socialize, and make new friends. ☕
