Literature Clubhouse: Against Interpretation

Welcome to our latest event happening at The Winery,a bar and restaurant in Surry Hills! This month we read Against Interpretation by Susan Sontag.

How do we assess media? When you go to the art gallery with your friends, what are we looking out for? Do you read the artwork description and how does that affect your experience of the work? These are all ideas explored in the short essay by Susan Sontag that has contributed to her standing as one of America's greatest writers and critics. We invite you to bring along your favourite book, or maybe just something you're currently reading on the side, and discuss Against Interpretation in relation to the art and literature in your own life.

For those new to Literature Clubhouse, we are a growing bookclub that focusses on classic, philosophy, and feminist literature. If you're in your 20s and looking for a third-space to meet likeminded people, make new friends, and enjoy some good food and drink, then come along to our monthly meet-ups.

Please aim to have read (or have at least started reading) the book before coming to the event as it helps facilitate a more lively conversation. If you couldn't get to it or signed up last minute thats fine too! We'd still love to see you there.

The booking is under the name 'Nafisa Yashfee'. Please make sure not to arrive early as we need time to prepare your fun evening!
