Discussing “A Small, Good Thing” by Raymond Carver
Wed, Jan 28 · 7:00 PM EET
Central library Oodi, Töölönlahdenkatu 4, Helsinki, FI
Join us for a thoughtful book club gathering focused on the short story A Small, Good Thing by Raymond Carver.

This quietly powerful story explores grief, miscommunication, vulnerability, and the unexpected ways people find connection in moments of pain. Through Carver’s minimalist style, ordinary interactions take on deep emotional weight — making this text especially rich for discussion.

The story is short and accessible, but the themes are layered and open-ended. We’ll reflect together on emotional intimacy, empathy, and how “small” gestures can become profoundly meaningful.

Reading (around 5000 words, free):

– No academic pressure — personal reflections welcome
– A calm, reflective atmosphere

You don’t need to be a literature expert — just come curious and ready to listen, think, and share.
