Book Club Discussion: In The Dream House

Book Club Discussion: In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

You're invited to a powerful evening of reflection and conversation as we discuss In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado—a genre-defying memoir that examines the complexities of abuse in queer relationships with vulnerability, insight, and unforgettable prose.

Machado builds her story through a series of vignettes, each written in a different narrative style, weaving a haunting and deeply personal account of love, control, memory, and survival. This book invites us to consider the stories we tell ourselves and the ones we are often too afraid—or not allowed—to tell out loud.

We welcome all voices to this conversation. Whether you’re joining to share your thoughts, sit with the story, or listen and learn, we’re glad to have you. Please feel free to bring a journal, a cup of something warm, and your whole self to this space.
