ALN Monthly Book Club: The Spear Cuts Through Water (Old Town)

For our August Monthly Book Club, we will be reading Simon Jimenez's "The Spear Cuts Through Water!"

We will be hosting this event IN PERSON, outdoors, at Presidio Park in Old Town! 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: Violence, cannibalism, alcoholism, mentions of sexual assault. Details not given here to avoid spoilers. Contact an organizer if you have concerns about the book's content.

Two warriors shepherd an ancient god across a broken land to end the tyrannical reign of a royal family. The novel delves into the power of storytelling, the nature of identity, the complexities of family, and the impact of legacy.

We hope to see you there!
