SUMMARY:In The Country of Others by Leïla Slimani.
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday 9th January\, 16.00 at Ouky Douky Coffee to discuss In The Country of Others by Leïla Slimani. \nThe award-winning\, #1 internationally bestselling new novel by the author of The Perfect Nanny–a passionate interracial love story between a Moroccan soldier who fought for France in World War II and a French woman whose fierce desire for autonomy parallels colonial Morocco’s fight for independence. \nThe world of men is just like the world of botany. In the end\, one species dominates another. One day\, the orange will win out over the lemon\, or vice versa\, and the tree will once again produce fruit that people can eat. \nMathilde\, a spirited young Frenchwoman\, falls in love with Amine\, a handsome Moroccan soldier in the French army during World War II. After the war\, the couple settles in Morocco. While Amine tries to cultivate his family farm’s rocky terrain\, Mathilde feels her vitality sapped by the isolation\, the harsh climate\, the lack of money\, and the mistrust she inspires as a foreigner. Left increasingly alone to raise her two children in a world whose rules she does not understand\, and with her daughter taunted at school by rich French girls for her secondhand clothes and unruly hair\, Mathilde goes from being reduced to a farmer’s wife to defying the country’s chauvinism and repressive social codes by offering medical services to the rural population. \nAs tensions mount between the Moroccans and the French colonists\, Amine finds himself caught in the crossfire: in solidarity with his Moroccan workers yet also a landowner\, despised by the French yet married to a Frenchwoman\, and proud of his wife’s resolve but ashamed by her refusal to be subjugated. All of them live in the country of others–especially the women\, forced to live in the land of men–and with this novel\, Leïla Slimani issues the first salvo in their emancipation. \nIf you would like to join the Prague In-Person Book Club write to contact@pragueliterarycalendar.com and we can invite you to our whatsapp group.

SUMMARY:James by Percival Everett
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday 6th February\, 16.00 at Ouky Douky Coffee to discuss James by Percival Everett. \nPULITZER PRIZE WINNER • #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • A brilliant\, action-packed reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\, both harrowing and darkly humorous\, told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view • In development as a feature film to be produced by Steven Spielberg \nKIRKUS PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST • SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times Book Review\, LA Times\, The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The Economist\, TIME\, and more. \n“Genius”—The Atlantic • “A masterpiece that will help redefine one of the classics of American literature\, while also being a major achievement on its own.”—Chicago Tribune • “A provocative\, enlightening literary work of art.”—The Boston Globe • “Everett’s most thrilling novel\, but also his most soulful.”—The New York Times \nWhen Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans\, separated from his wife and daughter forever\, he runs away until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile\, Huck has faked his own death to escape his violent father. As all readers of American literature know\, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. \nBrimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a literary icon\, this brilliant and tender novel radically illuminates Jim’s agency\, intelligence\, and compassion as never before. James is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature. \nIf you would like to join the Prague In-Person Book Club write to contact@pragueliterarycalendar.com and we can invite you to our whatsapp group.
