19:30 – 22:00, event starts at 20:00
The third series of Savannah Bay’s Feminist Book Club returns to fiction, with a contrasting focus on dystopias and utopias and personal autonomy.
From February to June, Savannah’s Feminist Book Club will read and discuss five dystopian and utopian visions, each focused on the power of personal choice and collective religious narrative. This series’ lineup includes three people of color and one queer author. The bookclub is not a four-month-long commitment, feel free to join any month you like. There will be snacks and drinks available. The event is free if you buy the book at our shop; otherwise, we ask a contribution of €6.
Following up last month’s baby farming novel The Farm with The Handmaid’s Tale is to explore this classic via indelible marks on feminist works which followed. Returning to the themes of religious narrative from our first two novels, Atwood depicts a prescient alt-future of Christian fascism, sometimes to darkly humorous effect. Atwood’s 1985 classic is the oldest in our current series, but it’s a thematic crescendo of dystopias and utopias explored by this particular Feminist Book Club series.
Please join us for an expansive conversation and treats on Thursday, May 8.
Price of the book is €13,95. If you want to order the book from us, please make sure to do so on time.
