August Mens Book Club

Our Book for our August 25th is Freshwater by  Akwaeke Emezi

Ada has always been unusual. Her parents prayed her into existence, but something must have gone awry. Their troubled child begins to develop separate selves and is prone to fits of anger and grief.When Ada grows up and heads to college in America, a traumatic event crystallises the selves into something more powerful.
As Ada fades into the background of her own mind, these 'alters' - now protective, now hedonistic - take control, shifting her life in a dangerous direction.

 Book clubs are a great place to meet new people and make friends. A safe place to challenge your thinking, to consider issues like colonialism, racism and to talk about being the change.

The Men’s Book club is a space for all of those things. It meets once a month and cost £5. Once you have booked you will be able to download the themes we will be discussing for the book. The Book club is for everybody, it is not a highbrow academic event and most of the conversation is decided by those present.

You get a drink, the pizza is on us. It is a chance to kick back, laugh and just be.

This book club is held at the The Actors upstairs meeting room, 4 Prince's St, Kemptown, Brighton BN2 1RD
