Diary
The Vertices of Memory. Closing event of the “Taking the Floor” cultural programme for schools. Julian Barnes
Date and time:
Location: Doña Jimena state secondary school. Gijón.
Admission: Restricted to schools participating in the “Taking the Floor” programme.
Julian Barnes will meet with a delegation of pupils and teachers who participated in this “Taking the Floor” cultural programme activity for schools proposed by the Foundation. The activity invited 3rd- and 4th-year secondary and baccalaureate students to reflect on the reliability of memories, one of the recurring themes in the Laureate’s work. Inspired by his novel Talking About It, they had to write a short story about the same everyday event from different perspectives, those of three main characters who speak directly to the reader.
