Monther Tongue

Monther Tongue could be the new title for the monthly literature club organized in collaboration with El Bruc’s library. A meeting between writers in residency at Can Serrat, and Carla Jorba, Carlets Estrada y Ramon Jorba.

For this month of May, we decided to try a new format of reading through translation thought as a re-writing process.

Each writers has been collaborating as duo with a member of Can Serrat and two collaborators, Carlets and Ramon. Each member of each duo has chosen a short text to be translated, and related to the expression ‘Mother tongue’.
