CURRENTLY READING—
Our book club is more than just a reading list; it's a space for engaged, thoughtful dialogue where literature becomes a shared experience. Each month, we dive into works that challenge, inspire, and provoke—books that stir something deeper and push us to think critically about the world and ourselves. We favor timeless works over fleeting trends, focusing on novels, essays, and stories that leave a lasting imprint. If you're ready to explore literature that resonates, we invite you to join us.
01
Reading Next in July
Told from the perspective of a young woman whose brother has committed a violent, almost mythic act, the novel drifts in and out of consequence with Duras’ signature mix of detachment and fatalism. Think: boredom, heat, silence, and the slow corrosion of meaning. It reads like a premonition of emotional exile—lucid, suspended, and quietly merciless.
02
Reading Next in August
Nin’s prose, lush and hyper-conscious, turns infidelity into a philosophical mode: a way of testing identity through performance, always watched, always fragmented. What emerges is a portrait of feminine interiority at odds with moral coherence, and of desire not as lack, but as artifice with its own interior logic.
03
Reading Next in September
A slim, cutting novel disguised as a coming-of-age. Its titular narrator—an Antiguan au pair in an unnamed American city—observes her white employers and their casual entitlements with a clarity that makes sentiment impossible. What Lucy resists isn’t just colonial inheritance or maternal control, but the very idea of being formed by anyone other than herself.
