The Wednesday, June 26th bookclub will be exploring The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham


In this book club, we will meet monthly to explore novels that touch the world of art. Texts will include work by Margarat Atwood, Patricia Highsmith, Oscar Wilde, Percival Everett, Maggie O' Farrell, Irving Stone and more. 

Literature and Art have long been involved in an epic love affair, endlessly complimenting and inspiring each other. Both forms of expression seek to explore the human experience, conveying emotion and meaning through language and imagery. From The Portrait of a Lady to The Da Vinci Code, these novels do what art itself does best. They intrigue. They seduce. They grab our attention and pull us inside.
