RILE* READS
Wednesday 01/07, 18:00 - Wednesday 22/07, 20:00h
At: rile*books

We are delighted to welcome you to rile* reads, a new reading group series hosted by rile* books. We'll gather every Wednesday of July around a different book, with an intention to read it in full, together; to sit with ends, meanings of ends and beginnings of summer. It's July after all and the sun cycles our longing: rest, read, repeat. Bring your hearts. Come for stray syntax and moving texts; you/have/our/word.

Schedule

01/07 - reading Money City Sick as Fuck by Anne Boyer
08/07 - reading Tigris Vol. 1, ed. by Sargon Boulus
15/07 - reading Anatomy of a Refusal by Sahar Khraibani
22/07 - reading Comeback Death by Jennifer Soong

Practical info
The reading group takes place from 18h to 20h at our space at Rue des Commerçants 62. Copies of the texts will be available, no reading in advance necessary. A light dinner will be served at a suggested donation of 5 euros. Please send an email to rsvp to info@rile.space.
