Just a reminder that we will be discussing The Elegance of the Hedgehog at my house this Wed at 7pm. I am looking forward to discussing it with you all! Here are a few links if you want to do a little extra reading on the book and author:
Here is one interview quote by the author that I found really interesting:
"I followed a long, boring course of studies in philosophy. I expected it to help me understand better that which surrounds me: but it didn't work out that way. Literature has taught me more. I was interested in exploring the bearing philosophy could really have on one's life, and how. I wanted to illuminate this process. That's where the desire to anchor philosophy to a story, a work of fiction, was born: to give it more meaning, make it more physically real, and render it, perhaps, even entertaining."-Muriel Barbery
See you Wednesday!
