English Book Club!

Mykolaiv Window on America Center had the English Book Club with a Peace Corps volunteer Melanie Graham on the 13th of February. 

Our participants discussed a book "Sings and Symbols" by V. Nabokov ( 1948). This story about the denial, fear, banality, helplessness, the sense of growing old and learning more but perhaps understanding less; it all seeps through each strategically chosen word to form a portrait of madness, ageing.  From the title of this short story we can understand that it has to do with signs and symbols. This is a world of metaphor, filled with symbols. Also, the question of real insanity follows the whole text.
