Wednesday 28th August, 7 – 9pm: Dopereaders Book Club: Edge of Here with Kelechi Okafor

Dopereaders was created to provide an inclusive space where a diverse group of book lovers meet and discuss authors, titles, and relevant topics, giving the appropriate attention and resonance to Black and BIPOC authors to share their work. These book clubs spark engaging and challenging conversations and promote wellbeing through the acquisition and exchange of ideas.

In our ongoing collaboration with Dopereaders, in August we are welcoming author Kelechi Okafor to discuss her stunning debut collection Edge of Here, which combines the ancient and ultramodern to explore tales of contemporary Black womanhood. In scenarios that are imaginative but not too far from reality, Okafor’s sci-fi tales ask us to look introspectively at how we live, and contemplate the way it will shift in the near future…

The book club is moderated by John-Paul K. Members go free – contact the Events team to RSVP.
