The Tuesday group for this next French Book Club March / April 2025 is sold out. The groups are small (5 people max for a cosy and fruitful experience) so the spots go quickly, first with current participants and people on the wait list since they find out about the next event before everyone else does.
If you wish you could have participated (Madame Pylinska et le secret de Chopin is a stunning, moving, and hilarious book about the author himself as a young man taking rather unusual piano classes to improve the way he plays Chopin), let me know by answering this email.
With enough interest I'll happily open a Friday group :
March 21
March 28
April 4
April 11
As always we will meet at 6pm French time, for 1.5 hours, on Zoom. The class will be recorded so you can watch it again later as many times as you'd like. When I say "you" I mean the participants, it obviously won't be shared with anyone anywhere else.
I will also send you your weekly homework to help you prepare (and make sure you work hard) for each meeting.
Let me share with you here what it says on the back cover of the book
"Madame Pylinska, aussi accueillante qu'un buisson de ronces, impose une méthode excentrique pour jouer du piano : se coucher sous l'instrument, faire des ronds dans l'eau, observer le vent, écouter le silence, faire lentement l'amour... Au fil de ses cours, le jeune Éric-Emmanuel apprend bien plus que la musique, il apprend la vie.
L'oeuvre de Chopin donne-t-elle un sens à l'existence ? Aidera-t-elle le narrateur à comprendre son chemin, et saisir le secret bouleversant d'une personne aimée ?"
