The London Literary Salon (and its Paris counterpart) use the study of a great work of literature as a springboard to consider the wonder of the human experience–in all its raw and dynamic forms. The discussion resembles a seminar style study, but the emphasis is on what each participant brings to the conversation. The works of Joyce and Shakespear …
