Book club session to read and discuss Brenda Navarro's novel 'Ceniza en la boca' in Spanish, part of The Wild Detectives' Latin American reading series.
The Wild Detectives are hosting another session of El Book Club on Wednesday, October 14, from 7 PM to 8 PM. This one centers on Ceniza en la boca, the novel by Brenda Navarro. It's part of the bookstore's Latin American reading series, which Gabriel Calbosa coordinates, and the whole thing is run in Spanish—the reading and the conversation both happen in the language.
If you haven't come across Navarro's work yet, Ceniza en la boca follows a young person reconstructing her brother's story and her own, with the narrative moving between Mexico and Spain. It's the kind of book that opens up a few different conversations at once: grief, care, inequality, and uprootedness. The session is built around that—reading the text and then talking through it with others who are reading it too.
That's the core of El Book Club: it's a space to read and converse in Spanish, and the books are available at the shop if you need to pick up a copy before the session. It's less about a formal lecture and more about a group of people working through a book together. If you've been looking for a way to engage with Spanish-language literature in a social setting, this is a good place to start.
