Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
Contemporary Translated Novels of the Middle East
Discover a Different Point of View
In this continuation of a year-long class, participants 50 and over will increase their understanding of the Middle East, its culture and its turmoils through the eyes of Middle Eastern novelists and intellectuals.
Readings will focus on novels that bring a better understanding of the Middle East and writers who believe in building bridges with peoples and cultures everywhere. One of the best ways to understand cultures and societies is to look at them from “inside”; among the best insiders are the writers who represent the conscience of those societies. While some of the novels will be provided by the instructor, others will be provided by the participants.
This class will meet for 90 minutes on the last Thursday of January, February, April and May.
