Book Club: The Secret History

Come discuss queer books, have a drink, and make new friends 🌈✨

September's book will be The Secret History by Donna Tartt. It is a modern cult classic, published in 1992, and considered to have started the Dark Academia subgenre.

The Secret History is an inverted detective story narrated by one of the six students, Richard Papen, who reflects years later upon the situation that led to the murder of their friend Edmund "Bunny" Corcoran – wherein the events leading up to the murder are revealed sequentially. The novel explores the circumstances and lasting effects of Bunny's death on the academically and socially isolated group of classics students of which he was a part.

Everyone is welcome who has read the book by the time of the meetup, regardless of identity. We will be meeting every other month, at ACU. It is a political-cultural centrum which resides in the city center.

Please update your RSVP if you find out you cannot attend. Hope to see you there! 🏳️‍🌈📚
