Monthly book club session at Books on the Hill to discuss 'The School of Night' by Karl Ove Knausgaard, with tea and coffee provided.
Books on the Hill is hosting a discussion of The School of Night by Karl Ove Knausgaard on Sunday 17 January, from 10:00 to 11:00. It's part of their Text Book Club, one of the monthly reading groups they run upstairs in the Reading Room at 1 Holywell Hill, St Albans, AL1 1ER. The session is for ages 18 and over, with tea and coffee provided.
The School of Night is by the Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgaard and belongs to his Morning Star series of novels, though it can be read on its own. It's described as an introduction to Knausgaard's bizarre, at times existential world — a writer cited as one of the most celebrated of recent times. The story is set in London in 1985 and follows Kristian Hadeland, a young man newly arrived in the city whose ambition and contempt drive him to meet an eccentric artist named Hans.

If you're not already a regular, the Text Book Club is just one of the reading groups Books on the Hill runs from the Reading Room. They also have a Classics Book Club, a Chapters and Grapes Book Club that pairs books with wine, a 6AM Writing Club, and a Breakfast Book Club. There's a year-long subscription available if you want to commit to the whole run rather than just dropping in for the odd one. The session runs from 10:00 to 11:00 on Sunday 17 January, upstairs in the Reading Room at 1 Holywell Hill, AL1 1ER.
