Take a pint of book club, add a wedge of tutorial and a pinch of gossip and you have ffoice Story Club – fun and convenient virtual workshops where we break down what makes good food storytelling.
In our next session we're looking at The Vegetarian by Korean author Han Kang, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature last year. A disturbing yet beautiful literary novel, it's also (spoiler alert) a tofu-free zone that might upset animal lovers at first.
We'll be unpicking what makes a novel 'literary' and 'poetic', how to write in a way that keeps people turning the pages, and exploring clever story design principles that will help you enchant your readers. Come along and learn how to stretch your writing muscles!
What you'll get:
- an engaging deep-dive into a work The Guardian called 'A transformative fable about desire, frustration and individual will'
- lively discussion with other people who write (or want to write) about food and cooking and want to get better at it
- ongoing access to the workshop replay and lesson materials
ffoice Story Club combines the best aspects of book clubs and study groups in fun and convenient Zoom sessions. The cost is £18 per person per session with no obligation to sign up for other workshops.
The Vegetarian is available from your favourite digital behemoths, independent booksellers and second-hand outlets.
