Queer Book Club
August 11 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm CEST
Join us for a discussion of the classic “The Left Hand of Darkness” by Ursula LeGuin on Sunday 11th of August. 
“The Left Hand of Darkness was among the first books in the genre now known as feminist science fiction and is described as the most famous examination of androgyny in science fiction. A major theme of the novel is the effect of sex and gender on culture and society. When the book was first published, the gender theme touched off a feminist debate over the depiction of the ambisexual Gethenians. The novel also explores the interaction between the unfolding loyalties of its two main characters, the loneliness and rootlessness of Ai, and the contrast between the religions of Gethen’s two major nations.”
We have a partnership with o*books where we order the books for the next session through the bookstore and they can be picked up in-store. o*books is a queer feminist bookshop based Bruno-Marek-Allee 24/1, 1020 Wien. Join the Whatsapp group so you can order your book if you’d like and get all the updates for future bookclubs!
Everyone is welcome, whether you have read the book or not. You are also invited to bring snacks if you would like to share with the group 
Let’s get cozy together!
