Book Club on Demand
Written by the Desi Writers Lounge Team
Interested in attending a DWL book club in your city? Find members and hassle them until they organise one!
After successful discussions on popular books like Daniyal Mueenuddin's In Other Rooms, Other Wonders, Muhammad Haneef's A Case of Exploding Mangoes, William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist, Moni Mohsin's The Diary of A Social Butterfly, Carlos Ruiz Zafon's New York Times Bestseller The Shadow of the Wind and Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven, we briefly turned our attention to the classics.
In March, the Islamabad book club discussed Nathanial Hawthorne's timeless classic The Scarlet Letter, a damning account of the gendered nature of sin and retribution in 17th century puritan America. At the end of May, the same group picked up Harper Lee's stunning narrative on racism and justice - To Kill a Mockingbird.
For more details on future events, please click through to our Facebook group where you will be apprised of the exact whens and wheres, along with any other activities we're planning. Joining the group is especially a good idea for people interested in our offline events and not willing to submerge themselves into a workshop friendly and critique heavy forum.
As always please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Happy reading!
