  PART I: “Go Down, Moses” by William Faulkner. The Word Depot

  In this podcast, Begoña, Belén, Mila, Cándido and Marcial, members of the reading club of the EOI of Vigo, coordinated by Ana Sánchez, give an overview of their reading of Faulkner’s novel as well as share their creative writing pieces inspired by it. This podcast has been divided in two parts: the first part addresses first impressions on the novel. Special thanks to Helen Burr for her reading of an extract from the first chapter of the novel “Was”. Equally, special thanks for those who participated in the writing but were not present at the moment of the podcast: María Angeles Machado Panete, and Janine Fontenla.
