April Book Club: Monsters: What Do We Do with Great Art by Bad People? by Claire Dederer | Wednesday 9th April, 7-9pm
A casual, friendly book club where we discuss this month's book, hosted by Rosie from Shelf Life Books and Zines.
Our April meeting will be held in the Cwtch at Chapter Arts Centre on Wednesday 9th April, 7-9pm. We’ll have some snacks (feel free to byo!) and drinks, and we'll be discussing Monsters by Claire Dederer. Here's the blurb:
Pablo Picasso beat his partners. Richard Wagner was deeply antisemitic. David Bowie slept with an underage fan.
But many of us still love Guernica and the Ring cycle and Ziggy Stardust. And what are we to do with that love? How are we, as fans, to reckon with the biographical choices of the artists whose work sustains us?Wildly smart and insightful, Monsters is an exhilarating attempt to understand our relationship with art and the artist in the twenty-first century.
All attendees will have 10% off through the Shelf Life website, just use the code BADPEOPLE at the checkout. We also have paid-forward copies available for anyone who needs one. Ticket costs are sliding scale - funds are used to cover the room hire and to keep it accessible to everyone so please choose whichever suits you best.
Chapter Arts Centre is fully wheelchair accessible and the Cwtch is on ground floor at the end of the bar by the doors to the beer garden. If you have any access needs, just drop us a message 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!
