One of the most successful projects of the American Corner in Perm is the Book Club, aimed at deeper observation of the rich literary heritage of the United States and text analysis, including those works by contemporary authors. Our last meeting was dedicated to the works of Shel Silverstein (1930-1999). Silverstein's characters – four-year-old cowboys and adolescent geezers; snobby "rockers" and robotic housewives, restaurant critics and voracious "regulars" of the zoo - open the wondrous world of songs, comic sketches and cartoons loved by generations of Americans! |
