A Prayer for Owen Meany von John Irving
In 'A Prayer' we'll be enjoying one of the most famous American novels by a contemporary giant of American literature. The course will not be a literature seminar in the strict, academic sense. Rather, it will be an opportunity for students to improve their English skills generally by means of reading, writing and speaking English with respect to a worthy subject. The active participation of all participants will be expected.
