Do You Enjoy European Books? We Have the Perfect Book Club for You!
The EUNIC Book Club meets regularly to discuss contemporary European literature. It is a project of the European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) in Toronto: The Alliance Française, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Camões Toronto, and the Goethe-Institut. The books are English translations, and the discussions are in English. This is a wonderful opportunity to discover new international authors.
The next meeting will be held at the Toronto Reference Library, Beeton Auditorium East, on January 28, 2014, from 6:30-7:30. Moderator Joao Pedro Faustino, Lecturer of Portuguese at the University of Toronto, will discuss Joseph Walser’s Machine by Portuguese author Goncalo M. Tavares.

This is a great idea. I’ve been looking for a way to thoughtfully choose and discuss talented non-British and North American authors. Thank you, Library! I’ll be there.
