Book Club is a reading group and think tank in Houston, Texas. Together, we investigate progressive, experimental, and provocative work by African American writers, with a particular focus on hard-to-find creative texts. Book Club is inspired by the powerful history of self-education in communities of color. These modes of extra-institutional learning have often come out of necessity, as well as by choice—we invoke the spirit of our predecessors to guide the political and creative decisions of our present day.
