This club is for those who want to read foreign literature in source language. Since October 3, 2009 at the American Center weekly Fiction reading club had started. In October sessions participants read and analyzed a novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" of famous American writer Mark Twain with the participant of the Fulbright Program Alyson Faller. In November we organized poetry reading. This cycle began with T.S.Eliot's poem "The Waste Land". We started the new 2010 year with a novel "The Great Gatsby" of the American author F.Scott Fitzgerald. First published on April 10, 1925, it was set on Long Island's North Shore and in New York City during the summer of 1922 and was a critique of the American Dream. Then was “The Kite” of Somerset Maugham. This month we read and analyze so called feminine literature. We begin with "Where are you going, where have you been?" by Joyce Carol Oates, which first published in Epoch, fall 1966. Included in Prize Stories: O Henry Award Winners (1968), and The Best American Short Stories (1967).
