Monday, the 5th of May saw ALFA 2 – the second English literature salon in the Convento São José in Lagoa.
Barbara Fellgiebel presented the concept of ALFA – Europe’s most south western literature salon, rewarded the right answers to linguistic questions and recommended books of her choice a.o.:
The girls by Lori Lansens
Victor Borge amused the audience (on CD) with his inflationary language.
Deborah Gaines introduced Life of Pi by Yann Martel.
Lynne & Peter Booker gave a detailed view into container life by presenting Lesley Brain’s
latest book A minority of one.
During the 20 min. break, there was time to enjoy the latest exhibition in the Convento’s Art Gallery, as well as the delicious eats and drinks provided by Catrin George (yes, next time you may come at 7 pm with a healthy appetite!), the smirting (you will have to attend in order to find out what that is) and the general social chit chat.
In part 2, Michael Gerber gave a talk on Sweet Teeth and Loose Bowels: The Adventures of an International Aid Worker.
Like last time: lovely, encouraging reactions, inspired and inspiring.
So, do not miss ALFA 3 on Monday, the 2nd of June and:
