Book Flight Book Club- Read Dangerously

Book Flight Book Club- Read Dangerously

Book Flight: a group that samples across the genres. Each month we will try something new and meet together to dive into the book together!

Join us as we discuss Azar Nafisi's literary critiscism, Read Dangerously: The Subversive Power of Literature in Troubled Times. The New York Times bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran returns with a guide to the power of literature in turbulent times, arming readers with a resistance reading list, ranging from James Baldwin to Zora Neale Hurston to Margaret Atwood.

Structured as a series of letters to her father, who taught her as a child about how literature can rescue us in times of trauma, Nafisi explores the most probing questions of our time through the works of prolific authors. 

*We will be discussing the Third Letter (Grossman, Ackerman, Khoury).  Contact staff if you need a copy of the chapter. *

Book Flight will meet on Zoom. Please register to be in contact with staff, or call 831-646-3933 for more information. A Zoom link will be provided for participants.
