A book club for gay men who have always wanted to read Proust's multi-volume novel but were afraid to try on their own. This group is for you! We will meet bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings for 90-minute discussions and to share our insights into this complex work. We will read Proust in translation (rather than in French). Our goal is to make our way gradually through the novel. Experienced readers of Proust also welcome!

Has a colleague's passing reference to a great writer (Hemingway or Tolstoy perhaps) made you wish you knew his work?

We meet monthly on Sunday afternoons in a Providence bookstore to discuss our chosen book of the month. Our interpretation of the "classics" is fairly strict; we mostly choose books or a …

This is a club where friendly interesting people meet to discuss the books we have all read together.

Comics are brilliant. They are also an overlooked and under-appreciated part of the literary establishment, so we're looking to redress the balance a little. This group will work pretty much like a traditional book club - we pick a new graphic novel or collection every month, read it and meet up for a discussion over coffee or a beer. We're going to try to find the literary corners of the graphic storytelling medium - I'm interested in how art style informs character perception; how panel layout …

This group's aim is to connect local creative non-fiction women writers to form "writing buddy" partnerships. Published and aspiring writers are welcome to join. Some people have asked what creative nonfiction is. I'd refer people to two excellent books on the topic, although there are many others out there. Lee Gutkind's You Can't Make This Stuff Up, and Adair Lara's Naked, Drunk and Writing are two books that every CNF writer and aspiring writer should check out. Creative Nonfiction Magazine i …

Creative writing is exciting. We are more likely to grow as writers, both in the enjoyment of our craft and in our productivity, when we are in community with other writers. Writing does not need to be lonely and unproductive, but should be an fulfilling and liberating form of creativity and self-expression. As a member of The Writers' Workshop, you can belong to a community of fellow writers who will encourage you in your craft.  Each writer should come to each week's writing session with a pen …

It's time to rekindle the group for the new year, and there are a few changes.  I welcome your thoughts on them. 0.  First, let me address some questions people have asked.   This is a writing group, not a critiquing group.   You don't need to distribute work ahead of time or do any homework.   You can write anything you want; there is no preferred genre or style.  You can come as frequently or infrequently as you wish.   You can RSVP or not, show or not.   We do not charge, we do not judge. 1.  …
