About us
Want to discuss literature with others but don't have time to commit to longer books? In this book club, we focus on short stories so that anybody can join in, even those who only have time to read on the tram! Here's how it works:
- Every week, we announce a selection of short stories in English (possibly translated) freely available online.
- Anybody who wants to participate reads the stories in advance on their own. The texts for any given week usually take an hour or two to read.
- We meet on Sunday to discuss the stories.
Our discussions don't follow a set agenda and are all based on what we happen to find interesting for any given story. The story choices are member-driven, so feel free to suggest anything that interests you!

Short stories by Gabriel García Márquez 🐐
Språkcaféet, Esperantoplatsen 7-9, Göteborg, SE📚 About our sessions
Please read the stories listed below before attending. For every story we will start with summarizing the story so that we have it fresh in our minds. We will share our opinions about the story, which parts we liked and which we didn't like, and we will discuss any and all aspects of the story and the writing.
