ALN Monthly Book Club: The Book Eaters (Old Town)

For our July Monthly Book Club, we will be reading Sunyi Dean's "The Book Eaters!"

We will be hosting this event IN PERSON, outdoors, at Presidio Park in Old Town! Attendees must be vaccinated; vaccination cards WILL be checked. In addition, we recommend (but do not require) that attendees wear masks and maintain social distance.

We typically meet at the picnic tables in the shade at the end of the loop made by Cosoy Way. Please see the embedded map below for more details.

Content warning: Body horror, confinement, domestic abuse, forced marriage, gore, graphic violence, misogyny, forced pregnancy/childbirth, and violence against children. Details not given here to avoid spoilers. Contact an organizer if you have concerns about the book's content.

There is a line of people who eat books and gain the knowledge written inside. Devon is a woman who was given fairy tales to eat while her brothers feasted on books of valor and adventure. Devon's life is upturned when her son is born with a darker hunger; not for books but human minds.

We hope to see you there!
