All literature lovers
-To share the joys of reading fiction.
-To discuss a selection of excerpts from Ali Smith’s Summer.
-To exchange ideas on Smith’s 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 multiple possible readings of the novel.
In Summer (2020), Ali Smith interweaves the lives of Sacha Greenlaw, her mother and her brother with those of characters from previous instalments of her seasonal quartet – Autumn (2016), Winter (2017), Spring (2019). They are all placed on a trip to Norfolk, which gives Smith the chance to explore her recurrent themes of loss, estrangement, the fictionalization of reality, and the nature of art and representation. Overshadowed by the aftermath of Brexit and the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, Summer also offers an insightful examination of our search for true human connections, 0ur contradictory essences and the possibility of forgiveness in our contemporary world.
- Reading of key sections of Ali Smith’s Summer, Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield and William Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale to appreciate how the three works converse intertextually and resignify one another.
- Guided group reflection and exchange of ideas on a selection of excerpts from the texts.
- Presentation of an integrated approach to Ali Smith’s Summer.
