Susana Gullco Groisman
She graduated with distinction in British History and Literature from the Instituto Superior del Profesorado "Dr. Joaquín V. González" and was a lecturer in Contemporary British Literature in her alma mater institution for forty years (having gone through competition to obtain tenure in 1975). She has been a guest speaker at numerous educational centres in our country. She is the former Head of the English Department at the I.S.P."J. V. González" and former President of APIBA. At present she belongs to the team of Literature lecturers at the English Speaking Scholastic Association of the River Plate Centre.
Advanced speakers of English, lovers of reading.
The aim and challenging guide for the discussion of these books will be to reflect on this observation by Anthony Burgess:
"A good literary novel must leave in the reader's mind a sort of philosophical residue. A view of life that has been indirectly propounded that seems new, even surprising".

Very important!!!!
As it would be ideal to be able to develop this short course with a high degree of participation, a previous reading of the material is required. (Books available at Kel's)
A suggested reading guide would include the following points:
- Read a long chunk every time you sit down to read.
- Jot down whatever feelings are produced in you as you read.
- Try to mark/write down the words the meaning of which you are not sure about and look them up; don't fail to dispel the doubt.
- Devise a kind of chart where you can register:
- Setting (time and place)
- Plot
- Characters
- Point of View
- Choice of words
- Theme/s
- After you've read the piece, look at the title again and connect it with the theme/s that have been apparent to you.
