The ELL Book Discussion Group is a free class on Zoom for adult high-intermediate to advanced English learners. Our second book will be a mini-novel in two parts called Franny and Zooey by the famous American writer J.D. Salinger. In the first part Franny meets her boyfriend Lane for a football weekend at his college. During their first lunch together, Franny begins to have a nervous breakdown. After Franny's breakdown, Zooey, her brother, jumps into action. Over the course of a long, tense, and complicated discussion, Zooey helps Franny sort out her spiritual, intellectual, family, and personal contradictions, allowing her, by the end, to find peace.
Ongoing Thursday evening sessions begin October 1, 2020. Limited to 8 students.
Registration is now open.
