About the event

This is a session of the GDL Morante reading group, led by Veronica Pacini at the Biblioteca civica Riva del Garda. The group is reading two of Elsa Morante's novels: Aracoeli, discussed at the first meeting on 7 September, and Menzogna e Sortilegio, her debut novel, discussed at this and the following two meetings.

Participants discuss the novels together, looking at their themes and literary qualities. Anyone who hasn't had time to read can still come: registered participants receive a summary of the relevant section by email a few days beforehand.

About Riva del Garda

Riva del Garda sits at the northern tip of the lake, where the cliffs of the Rocchetta drop almost straight into the water and the Sarca plain opens towards Arco.
