The “Əli və Nino” Book Club, which promotes a culture of reading, has selected four intriguing books for October. The book club meetings, taking place on October 26 at the Crescent Mall branch, will provide readers with the opportunity to deeply engage with literature and discuss authors’ ideas and characters in meaningful ways.
The sessions will be held at different times throughout the day and will cover a variety of genres: a psychological novel by a local author, a socially critical work from contemporary American literature, as well as international bestsellers in satirical and fantasy genres.
Event Program:

Awarded the Pulitzer Prize, this work artistically addresses social issues, poverty, struggle, and the harsh realities of life. Readers will discuss together the messages the book conveys about human destinies.
13:00 – Rebecca Kuang, Yellowface
One of the most talked-about contemporary novels, Yellowface satirically explores themes of authorship, identity, and cultural belonging. Rebecca Kuang encourages readers to reflect on both the visible and hidden aspects of literature.
