Let’s meet in the middle of March for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon together. As winter slowly gives way to spring — a season when everything begins to awaken again — we’ll take a moment to reflect on the question: What Are You Growing Into This Year? 🌱 🌟 What to expect A small circle of open-minded people, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing reflections, philosophy, psychology, or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. The topic is suggested above, and the conversation will flow organically. 🪄 We’ll explore the questions step by step, from light to deeper, in a roundtable format. For example: • What’s your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in Luxembourg? • What is something new you have started exploring this year? • If this year had a theme for you so far, what would it be? • What small change in your life has already made a difference this year? • Is there a skill or quality you would like to develop more this year? • What are you currently investing more time or energy in? • Is there something you are slowly letting go of this year? • What kind of person do you feel you are slowly becoming? • What has helped you grow the most in recent years: people, challenges, or experiences? • If this year goes well for you, what might look different by the end of it? • What is one quiet intention you have for the rest of this year? • …and whatever else naturally emerges. There’s no pressure to share deeply — listening is just as welcome as speaking. ✨ 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Le Quai Steffen – Gare de Luxembourg | Restaurant 📅 Date: Sunday, March 15, 2026 🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: Up to 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually Since this is a rather specific topic, the group will stay small.

“The name Patricia Highsmith designates for me a sacred territory,” writes Slavoj Žižek, “a figure whose position among writers is comparable to the place Spinoza holds for Deleuze—the Christ among philosophers. When one speaks of Highsmith, one should tread carefully, for one is walking through my dreams.” — “[Immoral, and Yet Ethical!](https://slavoj.substack.com/p/immoral-and-yet-ethical)” For our book club meeting, I propose The Talented Mr. Ripley, the novel in which Tom Ripley first appears and in which Patricia Highsmith discovers what would become her most unsettling double. For her, Ripley is not just a character but a kind of externalized ego: Highsmith later signed her mail as “Tom (Pat)” and even appended his name to her own. Ripley is a man without qualities, yet with a perfect ear for the intonations of others. He can be anyone, because being himself is unbearable. To make our discussion even more interesting, I suggest reading the novel alongside its 1999 film adaptation by Anthony Minghella, starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow. It is not the only cinematic version of Highsmith’s work, but it remains the most celebrated—and perhaps the most seductive. We’ll discuss what changes when Ripley moves from page to screen: morality versus beauty, inner emptiness versus outward glamour, and the question of [why we want what Tom Ripley has.](https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/critics-at-large/why-we-want-what-tom-ripley-has) Links for inspiration: * Slavoj Žižek, [Immoral, and Yet Ethical!](https://slavoj.substack.com/p/immoral-and-yet-ethical) * The New Yorker podcast, [Critics at Large: Why We Want What Tom Ripley Has](https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/critics-at-large/why-we-want-what-tom-ripley-has)
