First Floor Reading Group

In the year of its author’s centenary, a chance to visit one of his most controversial novels. An atrabilious dark comedy of manners, Stanley and the Women is a disturbing expression of male unease at the social change transforming late 20th century Britain and a characteristic display of Amis’ caustic wit.

You’re welcome to join us on the first floor of the bookshop for this small group event that takes place on the second Tuesday of every month. Whether you’ve been able to read the chosen book or not it’s a wonderful way to meet and compare thoughts with others in an informal, guided session that gets the very best out of every book we select. And don’t forget: you can sign up for our events newsletter on this page on our website.
