It’s been a hot minute (over a year if we want to start counting) since we’ve met for book club and even longer since we’ve met in person. Let’s change that! And let’s do it with a novel that’s equally easy to dive into and thought provoking.

Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution

This speculative fiction, young adult novel, is set in an alternate 1830s Oxford where language and translation have magical power and colonial institutions exploit this resource.

We’re meeting Sunday, August 24th at The Community Centre in the Liguanea area (exact address to be sent once you RSVP). Bring your book, notepads, and dress cozy.
