Book Club: My Life in Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler | Wednesday 11th December
A casual, friendly book club where we discuss this month's book, hosted by Rosie from Shelf Life Books and Zines.
Our December meeting will be our Book Club Xmas party and will be held in the Cwtch at Chapter Arts Centre, around the corner from the Corp. We’ll have some snacks and drinks, and we'll be discussing My Life in Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler. Here's the blurb:
In My Life in Sea Creatures we encounter: the mother octopus, starving herself while watching over her eggs; the yeti crab, thriving in crushing pressure and oppressive darkness; the cuttlefish, able to change its appearance in a fraction of a second; and many other creatures lurking in the depths of the ocean.
Imbler's work weaves the wonders of marine biology with their own identity as a queer, non-binary mixed-race writer. They implicitly connect endangered sea life to marginalised human communities and shatter our preconceptions about the sea and what it means to survive.
All attendees will have 10% off the book at Shelf Life (use the code ILOVEBOOKCLUB on the website) and we have paid-forward copies available for anyone who needs one (the solidarity ticket option helps do this). We want our book club to be accessible everyone so please let us know if you have any access needs and we'll do everything we can to accommodate them. If you're nervous about attending (we get it!) for the first time, feel free to pop in or message for more info about the club/location or drop us a message if you'd like someone to meet you outside on your way in.
See you there!
