English Book Club - January

#### Upcoming Book Club Meetings at KözkincsKönyvtár

We will be starting the new year with two exciting reads — one from a Hungarian literary giant and Nobel Prize winner and one from a contemporary American novelist. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are joining for the first time, you’re warmly invited to dive into these richly layered, discussion-worthy books with us.
As always, everyone is welcome, whether you’ve finished the book, are halfway through, or simply want to listen and participate.

##### January Book Club Meeting

Book: The Melancholy of Resistance — László Krasznahorkai
Date: January 28
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Közkincs Könyvtár
We’ll open the year with Krasznahorkai’s haunting and visionary novel — a dense, hypnotic, and darkly comic exploration of chaos, authority, and the strange currents that move through small communities. One of Hungary’s most acclaimed literary works, and the basis for Béla Tarr’s film Werckmeister Harmonies, it offers plenty to discuss in terms of style, structure, philosophy, and atmosphere.

##### February Book Club Meeting

Book: The Nix — Nathan Hill
Date: February 25
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Közkincs Könyvtár
In February, we’ll switch gears with The Nix, a sprawling, funny, sharp, and surprisingly emotional novel about politics, media, family history, and the stories we tell about ourselves. It moves between time periods and perspectives with enormous energy — giving us a contrast to January’s slow-building, immersive style.
