All literature lovers
- To share the joys of reading fiction.
- To discuss and exchange ideas on one of Ali Smith’s most acclaimed novels, her narrative techniques, her recurrent themes and her fictional universe.
- To build strategies that will enable the participants to take an active role in the creation of the meaning of the novel.
Ali Smith’s The Accidental revolves around a middle-class English family who are visited by an uninvited guest while on holiday in a small village in Norfolk. The arrival of this guest will have a profound effect on all the family members, disrupting their lifestyles and forcing them to reexamine themselves and their outlook on the world around them. As an intertextual and “intergeneric” novel, The Accidental offers an insightful examination of the nature of perception and representation, but it is also brimming with wit, humour and surprise.
- Presentation of an integrated approach to the text.
- Guided group reflection and exchange of ideas on the text.
- Reading of key sections of the novel to appreciate its narrative power.
