About us
Attention authors: someone is pretending to be the organizer of this group and contacting authors by email to offer some kind of collaboration. They are trying to steal money from you. We do not do any kind of collaboration with authors.
We are a book club meeting in Williamsburg and Greenpoint with a mix of longtime members and brand new folks each month. You are warmly invited to join us.
Our books are decided by monthly vote, and can be of any genre. After the reading on our own, we'll get together on the second Wednesday of the month at a local Williamsburg bar to discuss. The discussion is causal and unpretentious and you are welcome to participate to whatever extent you like.

Fever Dream: A Novel by Samanta Schweblin
Kent Ale House, 51 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY, USWe're reading Fever Dream: A Novel by Samanta Schweblin (192 pgs), Megan McDowell (Translator). Hope to see you then!
About the book:
A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She’s not his mother. He's not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family. Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.
Because Meetup charges organizers like me $389.76 annually, there is a $1 suggested donation. If you'd like to contribute, you can do so at the meetup or by venmo (I'll post the info afterwards).
