During the meeting, we will be discussing Maddie’s reading suggestion: the short story “A Song for Sleep” by Bora Chung. The text can be accessed from this link.
Our conversation will focus on the following key questions/themes that Maddie has selected:
- The first-person narration of the short story
- The use of language / the “language” of the elevator
- The structure of the story: does it follow a traditional short story arc?
- The theme of ageing/vulnerability
- The portrayal of technology
- The portrayal of empathy and/or consciousness
