Small Press fiction book club
Small presses publish some of the most exciting and most innovative fiction today. In this book club we’ll read books from independent publishing houses where risks are being taken and new voices discovered. A different small press will be featured each month, and members can vote on what to read next. We'll read books from Archipelago, Feminist Press, Two Dollar Radio, Other Press, Verso, Tin House, and more.
Small Press Book Club will be meeting Thursday, September 25th at 7pm. We will be reading Temporary by Hilary Leichter, published by Coffee House Press.
About the book:
In Temporary, a young woman’s workplace is the size of the world. She fills increasingly bizarre placements in search of steadiness, connection, and something, at last, to call her own. Whether it’s shining an endless closet of shoes, swabbing the deck of a pirate ship, assisting an assassin, or filling in for the Chairman of the Board, for the mythical Temporary, “there is nothing more personal than doing your job.”
This riveting quest, at once hilarious and profound, will resonate with anyone who has ever done their best at work, even when the work is only temporary.
