About this Event
Come along to the King St Book Club and join us for an evening of lively and in-depth discussion of This is Where the Serpent Lives by Daniyal Mueenuddin. Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving- a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature
Moving from Pakistan's sophisticated cities to its most rural farmlands, This Is Where the Serpent Lives captures the extraordinary proximity of extreme wealth to extreme poverty in a land where fate is determined by class, caste and social station.
'Set to be a standout novel of 2026 ... Brutal, funny and brilliantly told' Patrick Gale, Guardian
'Expect to see this novel all over prize lists in 2026 ... Mueenuddin is a literary magician' The Times
'Masterful storytelling' Daily Mail
This month we'll meet in the Library at Rydges Fortitude Valley and enjoy delicious food from bar gusto over our discussion of This is Where the Serpent Lives.
Current Book Club members will collect their book at our April meeting at bar gusto and new members will be able to elect to collect their book from Avid Reader in West End or to add postage of their book to their order.
