A book club in East Bristol focussed on Climate Change, led by Dr Sarah Robertson, Associate Head of English Literature at UWE Bristol.

Love literature and want to read more about the climate? This book club gives you the perfect opportunity to discuss a variety of contemporary novels that engage with the changing climate. Engaging with world literature, from science fiction to realism, we will discuss the challenges of climate change and questions of hope, adaptability, and resilience as they emerge across these novels:

October 1^st – Lisa Brideau – Adrift

November 5^th – Eleanor Catton – Birnam Wood

December 3^rd – E.J. Swift – The Coral Bones

February 4^th – Mary Annaise Heglar – Troubled Waters

March 4^th – Daniel J. Mooney – The 14^th Storm

April 1^st – Jenny Offill – Weather

The book club is developed and led by Dr Sarah Robertson (UWE English Literature), whose current research is on climate change and literature.

The book club is free of charge and you can join by dropping-in with no prior booking (though it would be great if you could let Sarah know at Sarah.Robertson@uwe.ac.uk if you are intending to join, just so she has a rough idea of numbers). It takes place on the first Tuesday of every month from 7pm to 9pm.
