Our Romantic & Ruinous book club continues as a space to read closely, think together, and return to books that hold complexity around love, desire, and identity. These are conversations that move between the personal and the political, the intimate and the structural.

This month’s book: Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin

A timeless, piercing exploration of love, identity, and the cost of self-denial. Baldwin’s novel remains as urgent and affecting now as when it was first published, asking difficult questions about who we allow ourselves to be, and at what cost.

This session is now fully booked.
