So it BEGINS! On May 24th, 10 AM Pacific Time, we will start exploring the greatest living author together.

The Crying Lot of 49 is a wild, conspiratorial, and schizophrenic ride, but it is a short ride, clocking in at just over 150 pages.

If you are interested in a postmodernist novel that deals with paranoia, encrpyted messages, metaphysical turbulence, and strip malls, this is the novel for you 🤣

I would still encourage you to join if you can’t make the call because you can

  • Watch the recorded calls, which will be posted below

  • Lurk and listen to the call while it’s live if you’re busy with your family, commuting, working, or doing whatever. I am 100% fine with you popping in, saying your thoughts, and leaving if you’re super busy!

  • You can maybe make it to one of our other 10+ book clubs every month

  • FYI, beginners and expert readers are all welcome :)

We will meet on the date below at 10 AM PST on Zoom and talk for 45 minutes

May 24th - The Crying Lot of 49
