Book club meeting with Tori and Zareef discussing works by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color writers, focusing on The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die.
Amplify Book Club meets at BookPeople Cafe on Monday, October 26, for a discussion of The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay. The meeting starts at 7 PM.
Amplify is a book club that focuses on works by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color writers. This month's selection, The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die, is written by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, a prominent Bengali writer known for his short stories and novels. The club is led by Tori and Zareef, who facilitate the conversation around the text.
If you're not familiar with Mukhopadhyay, his work often centers on the domestic lives and social dynamics of middle-class Bengali families, frequently with a sharp, satirical edge. The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die fits that mold, and the meeting is an open discussion of the story rather than a formal presentation. You don't need to be a regular to drop in—it's a gathering for anyone who's read the book and wants to talk through it with others.
