Books are better talked about. That's not a controversial position, but it is one we take seriously!
Books in Translation - Oxford Reading Group
Once a month, a group of ten to fifteen people climb the stairs at Gulp Fiction in Oxford and spend an evening chatting about a book. Not in an academic way - there are no reading lists beyond the book itself, no expertise required, and no wrong answers. But the conversation is proper: hosted, focused, and genuinely exploratory. We read translated fiction from around the world. We take the books seriously. We have a good time.
If you're in or near Oxford and you'd like to come, sign up on Meetup.
Online Book Club... Coming Soon
For readers who aren't in Oxford, or who are and want more. We're building an online book club to complement the shop - a way to read the same books together and talk about them with people who care as much as you do. More details soon.
Author & Translator Events
Writers and translators in conversation - online first, Oxford soon. World literature has people behind it worth hearing from. We intend to introduce you to some of them. Watch this space.
