Delighted to be offering this class on Muriel Barbery's wonderfully philosophical novel, The Elegance of the Hedgehog! A publishing phenomenon when it was released in 2006, the novel asks existential questions about identity, meaning, and the purpose of life, as well as exploring issues such as class, suicide, and the often unconsidered difference between appearance and reality. The Elegance of the Hedgehog is a fascinating novel full of literary, philosophical and cultural allusions, and always sparks interesting discussions in class! Be sure to book your space today! The group will meet for three online sessions from Sunday 18th October 2026. Sessions will run from 4 to 6 pm (UK) online, via Zoom Session will be led by me, Frank Foley! I’ve been creating and leading my own unique literature groups since 2006, creating relaxed, thoughtful spaces where books become the starting point for genuinely good conversation. I have an MA in English from the University of Kent, and a BA in English from the University of Wales, College Cardiff.
