Audreys Book Club is a free monthly gathering for a lively discussion of a chosen title. A great way to pass a Monday night, meet new people with interesting taste in books, and get to know the books that our booksellers love talking about. We choose books from a range of new or backlisted titles, in fiction and non-fiction and all genres. Book Club is held on the last Monday of the month. The discussion starts at 7pm and is free to join! All are welcome!
Contagiously curious essays on reading, art, and the life of the mind, from the acclaimed author of The Unreality of Memory.
Who are we when we read? When we journal? Are we more ourselves alone or with friends? Right now or in memory? How does time transform us and the art we love?
In sixteen dazzling, expansive essays, the acclaimed essayist and poet Elisa Gabbert explores a life lived alongside books of all kinds: dog-eared and destroyed, cherished and discarded, classic and clichėd, familiar and profoundly new. She turns her witty, searching mind to the writers she admires, from Plath to Proust, and the themes that bind them—chance, freedom, envy, ambition, nostalgia, and happiness. She takes us to the strange edges of art and culture, from hair metal to surf movies to party fiction. Any Person Is the Only Self is a love letter to literature and to life, inviting us to think alongside one of our most thrilling and versatile critics.
