Join us for our next Book Club gathering on December 5th.
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (272pp/2021). Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone. Presented by Julian Gibbs. Please contact Rosemary for more information or if you’re interested in joining the email list at bookclub@iwct.it.
