Book Club Winter 2013

“Aller Tage Abend” von Jenny Erpenbeck

Aller Tage Abend opens in Galicia in 1901 with the funeral of a baby girl who has died of cot death.

In the first part of the book we witness the mother’s overwhelming grief for her child, her husband’s emigration to America and the woman’s struggle to maintain her family’s grocery business.

However, each of the book’s subsequent sections proceeds as though the girl did not die in infancy and envisions an alternative life story for her, each with its own fatal conclusion.

Winter Term 2013 (January 22nd, 2013 - March 30th, 2013)

Fridays: February 8, February 15, March 1, March 8, March 15, March 22, March 29 from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm.
