Essays

[close] Hello, jelly beans and mushrooms! This is a book club to read Queer and BIPoC literature, science fiction and decolonising our library. Come read with me, it's a safe space where we have discussions and talk about this dystopian "reality". There will be a new book every 2-3 months, most of them will be free and available online unless otherwise. I will be setting up a discord where discussions will take place, so stay tuned :))) Okay, well let's read!

[close] A collection of great essays collections, ranging from Virginia Woolf to Zadie Smith.

[close] In this monthly reading group, we discuss novels and short stories that rely less on plot and more on the description of sensations, extraordinary experiences and new modes of perceiving reality and relating to others. We are in interested in exploring themes like memory, the passing of time, identity, as well as the various consequences that certain encounters with otherness can bring to a life. We draw on the ideas of different philosophers (Deleuze, Nietzsche, etc.) to enrich our reading of the texts. HOW? Everyone is welcome to the discussion. The only requisite to participate is having read the novel beforehand, because discussions are on topic. Bring your thoughts, questions, and the passages you have underlined! WHERE? In DISCORD: Our online meeting will take place in Discord, so please make sure to join our Discord group beforehand! Here is the invitation to our group: https://discord.gg/DEcXZDgXZj
