Join us for an inspiring literary exploration as we uncover George Saunders’ moving short story, ‘Sticks.’

In this heartfelt narrative, we’ll journey through the life of a father, illuminated through a unique ritual involving two sticks. These sticks transform into vessels of memory, adorned with symbols of holidays and personal moments that speak to the heart of family and tradition.

We will explore the timeless themes of family bonds, the power of cherished rituals, and the universal desire to commemorate and remember those we hold dear.

The event welcomes both literature enthusiasts and those new to the world of storytelling. It’s a chance to connect with fellow readers, engage in thoughtful discussions, and embrace the magic of literature.

Join us on 10 October 2023, from 1:15pm – 2pm CEST at the Cafeteria, Alte Post, Berlin Campus. The event will be hosted by Dr. Niloufar Aminpour.

Prepare to embark on this enriching literary journey with us.

Important: We will accept registrations on a first come-first-serve basis.

Reminder: Please be guided by the Code of Conduct for BSBI Events
