Semester Abroad Book Club

Join us for a literary tour of the world, one semester at a time! We spend six months "reading" through a new country: books set in, translated from, or simply about each new place. This "semster," we're in HUNGARY! Join us in August to discuss our second book of the semster! Eye of the Monkey has it all: a torrid love affair, a near-future dystopian world, and psychological crises. In Tóth’s deftly woven and polyphonic novel—full of twists, turns, and treachery—we plumb the depths of a fractured, disturbed, and isolated society. In this intricate web, stories within stories reveal the complicated lives of women and men who struggle to negotiate the networks of power and poverty that have shaped their lives and their relationships to one another.
