A book club curated for discerning readers of subversive, avant-garde literary fiction written by women.
About this Event

Welcome to Annotated, a Bookends & Beginnings book club! We focus on genre-bending, boundary-pushing fiction in bite-sized packages. All selected titles are written by women or gender-queer authors and are read in translation.

This month, we'll be reading Alison Entrekin's translation of , Clarice Lispector's sensational debut. Originally written in Portuguese, this novel introduced Brazil to “Hurricane Clarice." The twenty-three-year-old baptized her first novel with a title borrowed from Joyce: “He was alone, unheeded, near to the wild heart of life.” Written in the stream-of-consciousness modernist style, this book tells the digressive story of a woman's life from childhood through an unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence.

All book club attendees are required to purchase tickets through Eventbrite. You may buy the book at a 15% discount (sales tax included in the price) or select the option to buy a certificate of the same value, to be redeemed on any in-store purchases on or before the event date. Certificates can be used on all in-store items except at the MiniBar.

The meeting will run from 6:00-7:00 PM, with a Happy Hour from 5:00-6:00 that attendees are encouraged to attend.

About Annotated: If your shelves are studded with NYRB and Fitzcarraldo titles, this is the book club for you. Rather than looking for the next big thing, we're more interested in what's too often overlooked: underrepresented voices, sleeper classics, and the books that get under your skin. Form can be fluid, and some Annotated selections may lean more towards poetry, memoir, or narrative non-fiction, but the majority will be fiction. Group members are always encouraged to suggest titles! We believe that a good education is an expansive one, and as such, we commit to choosing books by writers from different regions, literary traditions, and backgrounds.

Annotated Book Club meetings are led by Molly, the Events and Marketing Coordinator at Bookends & Beginnings.
