Details
Note to Attendees: Please consider making a $5 donation to contribute to the running costs of this Meetup.
As Graham Greene writes in The Quiet American, “Innocence is a kind of insanity,” a line that cuts to the heart of the novel’s uneasy exploration of morality, intervention, and unintended consequences.
Join us at the next Free Thinkers Book Club meetup as we dive into The Quiet American, a tense and thought-provoking story set against the backdrop of French Indochina. Through its characters, Greene examines political idealism, cultural arrogance, and the dangerous gap between intention and reality.
We’ll be meeting at The Osbourne Hotel in Fortitude Valley for a relaxed evening of discussion, drinks and good company. Whether you’ve read the book closely or just want to listen in, this is a great chance to connect, share perspectives, and explore the ideas together.
