Details

Come read & drink with us! The location will be posted closer to the event.

For July, in honor of Disability Pride month, we are reading The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby.

"In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French ‘Elle’ and the father of two young children, suffered a massive stroke and found himself paralysed and speechless, but entirely conscious, trapped by what doctors call ‘locked-in syndrome’. Using his only functioning muscle – his left eyelid – he began dictating this remarkable story, painstakingly spelling it out letter by letter."

As a reminder, this meetup's intentions are to be out and about in the city, exploring new places for drinks and discussions about books. Will post a location ASAP. Taking recommendations for locations if you have one in mind!
