Calling all literary fiction lovers of the greater Austin Area for our 178th event!

We are reading the story "Calm Sea and Hard Faring" by Yiyun Li. Link is provided in the comments section below and will be visible once you sign up for the event.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We will be starting our discussion at 7:45pm.

We also would like everyone to please RSVP if you plan to attend and update it if your plans change promptly. This is critical for our event planning purposes. We very much appreciate it.

Meetup structure:
7:00pm -- 7:45pm: Socializing and/or catch up on the reading for the meetup

7:45pm -- 8:00pm: Introductions and presentation of summary of the text

8:00pm -- 8:50pm: Discussion on the short-story

8:50pm -- 9:00pm: Voting on the short-story and Goodbyes

Please note that we are an inclusive space that welcome folks from diverse backgrounds and we wholeheartedly welcome and support LGBTQIA+, nonbinary members and Allies. We are always striving to reach out and embrace diverse voices within our Austin community. We hope you get to join our event!

WaitList explanation: Meetup.com's engine schedules and adds folks in the waitlist automatically. Folks with higher-tier memberships are prioritized by the Meetup system. As organizers, we don't have a say in it and we don't change the order in which the people are waitlisted. We have added an additional night for our meetup which happens on Wednesday to help cater to more participants. Please feel free to sign up on the night that is most convenient for you. Both will have the same agenda for our reading and discussion.
