It was a sultry night at the All Nations when we met to talk about The Sellout by Paul Beatty. We shouted over the sound of the rain about what an interesting book it was with a really lovely turn of phrase and quite a thoughtful (and meandering) exploration of race politics in America. I noted that while there's usually there's a bit of catching up and chit chat at the start of our meetings, people couldn't wait to get started talking about the book.
Next month's book is Entertaining Mr Sloane by Joe Orton. It was written in 1964 and was considered scandalous at the time. I'm interested to see what we make of it 50+ years later.
See you at the All Nations Hotel on March 6!
