Having greatly enjoyed many book groups for many years, I am moved to convene a group that is small and interested in reading books that stray into something more unusual in content or style. My preference is for books of up to and no more than about 250 pages, English or in translation, 20th/21st century in the main. Nothing against longer books but I'm no good at reading against the clock! Early ideas include Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk, The Polish Boxer by Eduardo Halfon, Homestead by Rosina Lippi and Leaving the Atocha Station by Ben Lerner but I am more than happy for the group members to come up with suggestions to include in the monthly schedule. I am happy to do/share introductions but hope these will be kept short to maximise discussion time.
