Join Culture Khoj, a community exploring South Asian books and culture for a four-part discussion of Midnight's Children. Slow reading: Midnight’s Children In November and December, we’re taking the slow route through Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. Think of it like slow travel: rather than rushing from one destination to the next, we’re going to stay awhile. Four sessions, four sections of the novel, and plenty of room to sit with the writing, the history, the characters and all the strange, wonderful places Rushdie will take us. The four sessions Thursday, November 5 Book One: Chapters 1 - 8 (inclusive!) The Perforated Sheet → Tick, Tock Thursday, November 19 Book Two: Chapters 1 - 8 (inclusive!) The Fisherman’s Pointing Finger → Alpha and Omega Thursday, December 3 Book Two: Chapters 9 - 15 (inclusive!) The Kolynos Kid → How Saleem Achieved Purity Thursday, December 17 Book Three: Chapters 1 - 7 (inclusive!) The Buddha → Abracadabra All sessions will be held at Robin des Bois, located in Parc La Fontaine from 6:30-8:30pm. You can join us for one session or all four. A single $20 ticket covers your participation across the series! Just purchase your ticket once and email us at [email protected] at least one week before each session so we can make sure we have a spot for you. Who can attend? Khoj’s literary gatherings aren’t only for South Asians. If you’re curious about other cultures, interested in the worlds and histories behind the books we read, you’re very welcome here. You don’t need to come with the “right” background or the perfect interpretation. Everyone gets space to talk, ask questions, share what stood out to them and connect with others.
