We are almost to the end of August, which means it's time for our discussion of Silence, the 13th Century French Romance. Whether you intend to join us at Au Coquelet on Saturday or not, feel free to share your thoughts about the book.
Feel free to answer these or any other questions in the space below, and be sure to post your own. I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say!
- Did you like the story?
- Is the title character trans*? Why or why not (or why can't we say)?
- Do you feel like you learned anything more about 13th century attitudes towards gender? 7th century attitudes?
- What did you think of Nature? Nurture? Euphemie?
- Did you read the translator's introduction or the end notes?
- What did you think about the ending?
