Canadian Bookshelf Interview: an adventure in Trinity-Bellwoods Park

I’ve visited a lot of book clubs. They’re all really different from one another. They meet in bookstores, libraries, living rooms, restaurants, university campuses and around lavish dinner tables with overflowing wine. Yesterday’s meeting was in the basement of a women’s shelter. I visit them in person or over Skype.

Group membership varies too: close friends, neighbours, co-workers, lesbian support group members, South Asian literary folk, or strangers who only see one another at their monthly get-togethers. They are almost always groups of women.
