Books Inc. in the Castro: The Center/Books Inc. Book Group Meeting for August (August 20 at 7:00pm)
Books Inc. in the Castro in association with the SF LGBT Center and 3DB Café is pleased to announce our next Book Group selection: Call me by your name. by Andre Aciman "Call Me by Your Name "is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest ... (more)at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. Andre Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. * * * Our next Book Group meeting is Wednesday, August 20th at 7 PM at the Three Dollar Bill Café at the LGBT Center, 1800 Market St. (@ Octavia). As always, I'd like everyone to come with any observations they may have as well as at least one question to pose to the group. Also, please come equipped with any title suggestions for our next joint venture. Hope to see you there. The Center/Books Inc. Book Group is free and open to everyone. We encourage inclusiveness and promote diversity. We meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
Event location: Lgbt community Center, 1800 Market st. San Francisco 94114
