Online Short Fiction Reading Group – Monday 29th September at 5pm (UK time)

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:

1. The first-person narration of the short story
2. The use of language / the “language” of the elevator
3. The structure of the story: does it follow a traditional short story arc?
4. The theme of ageing/vulnerability
5. The portrayal of technology
6. The portrayal of empathy and/or consciousness
