WCGS Reading Group

Every semester, the Waterloo Centre for German Studies's reading group meets on a weeknight evening to discuss a book that is somehow related to German-speaking culture.

Next Meeting is November, 21, 2019 and we are reading: Benedicts Wells: Vom Ende der Einsamkeit / The End of Loneliness, trans. Charlotte Collins
