Program Description

Event Details

Digestible Classics dives into the best books that are short enough for a busy schedule. This month we'll be reading Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo. Everyone is welcome, no matter your experience with literature.

You can attend in person at the library or join through Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent out the morning of.

 

A masterpiece of the surreal, this stunning novel from Mexico depicts a man's strange quest for his heritage. Beseeched by his dying mother to locate his father, Pedro Páramo, whom they fled from years ago, Juan Preciado sets out for Comala. Comala is a town alive with whispers and shadows--a place seemingly populated only by memory and hallucinations. Built on the tyranny of the Páramo family, its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past.
