SUMMARY:Strange Futures Book Club: The Memory Police
DESCRIPTION:The Strange Futures book club focuses on sci-fi and speculative fiction by QT/BIPOC writers. “Strange Futures” speaks to the unknown worlds that are to come–but also to the strangeness that is ascribed to marginalized voices\, and how such strangeness can actually be generative\, challenging\, discomforting\, and revolutionary. Hosted by Helen Chau Bradley\, the book club meetings take place every two months\, and are open to the public. \nOn Tuesday 31 March\, 2020\, we’ll assemble at the Petite Librairie Drawn + Quarterly (176 Bernard O.) at 7 PM to talk about The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. Join us for discussion and drinks!
