Welcome to Bad Women season 2!

After a successful first season of the bookclub, we're back with three more works of fiction where we will follow women who are complex, unsympathetic, angry and tired.

Just like in last season, we will be comparing themes, character arcs and storylines across three works of fiction. This fall we will be reading Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, The Vegetarian by Han Kang and Big Swiss by Jen Beagin.

Boy Parts by Eliza Clark: Irina, a troubled photographer with a penchant for extreme cinema, finds herself on forced leave from her bar job. During this time, she receives a prestigious exhibition opportunity in London. To prepare, she revisits her past work, confronting her artistic journey and the dark undercurrents of her artistic choices, particularly her obsession with photographing unsuspecting men in explicit situations. The novel explores themes of sexuality, gender dynamics, the nature of consent, and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy.

The goal of the book club is to be able to cross-compare the three books (and maybe even the books in the first season of the book club), but feel free to show up only to one, two, or all of the meet-ups The books will be sold in the bookshop - shoot us a message if you want us to reserve one for you!
