If you interested in receiving other cultures, and are curious to find out how global perspectives are expressed through contemporary European and world literature, this new book club may be for you. Rather than focusing on established canon, this club will delve into a few established classics such as the fable of The Little Prince, and explore emerging genres such as the graphic memoir Blue Pills: A Positive Love Story.  We will also read works fantasy, historical fiction, journalism, and novels from Columbia, Egypt, France, Iceland, South Africa, Switzerland, and Turkey.

The World Literature Book Club meets the first Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

Book Club Liaison: Liza Mueller
