Queer Russia Book Club

This monthly book club reads queer literature from Russia in English translation.

From September onward, this book club will be held on the third Tuesday of each month at 5 pm.

Cost: Please bring a contribution (sliding scale $1-5) for the meeting room reservation at Under the Umbrella. If $1 a month is a barrier for you, you are still welcome to attend!

If you purchase the next month's book pick after a book club meeting, you'll get 10% off that book.
COVID Precautions: It is a requirement for both the bookstore and the book club to wear a mask.
