JOIN THE CLUB // £5. Please reserve your spot in advance.
The Curious Readers Club is getting spooky (in name only) with Ananda Lima’s sparkling short story collection, Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil. Exploring the modern immigrant experience through slightly surreal, often funny, and occasionally bittersweet stories, Lima builds a unique world that straddles Brazil & the US.
We will dig into all the big ideas and small moments that made us feel the feelings. Ananda will join us virtually from New York to answer our questions. Plus, when you register for this event, your £5 will go towards the price of the book (out now in paperback, £15.99).
What to expect:
+ 7:00pm – Settle in with a drink & a biscuit
+ 7:15pm – Book club chat commences
+ 8:00pm – Q&A with Ananda Lima
+ 8:30pm – The end
The Curious Readers Club is a book club for, you guessed it, curious readers. Books are selected by Leslie at First Draft Books with an eye towards unique, thought-provoking debut titles. Always in paperback. Always discussion-worthy. Join us!
