Shelf Life Book Club: Hard Copy by Fien Veldman | 30th October

A casual, friendly book club where we discuss this month's book, hosted by Rosie from Shelf Life Books and Zines.

Our next meeting will be held in the nook seating area inside Corp Market (indoors, by HATW/Vin Van Cymru) and we'll be discussing Hard Copy by Fien Veldman. Here's the blurb:

This is a story of girl meets printer.

A customer service assistant spends her long workdays printing letters. Her one friend is the printer and, in the dark confines of her office, she begins to open up to him, talking about her fears, her past, her hopes and dreams. To her, it seems like a beautiful friendship is blossoming.

To her boss, it seems like she’s losing her mind. Diagnosed with burnout and placed on leave, she faces severance and – worse – separation from her beloved printer. But she’s not about to give up on her only friend without a fight.

And, it turns out, neither is he…Weird, incisive and unforgettable, Hard Copy is perfect for fans of Sayaka Murata and Halle Butler.

All attendees will have 10% off the book at Shelf Life 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 into the Corp for a look around beforehand, message for more info about the club/location or drop us a message if you'd like to meet at the bar on your way in.

See you there!
