Woman Zone Book Club, this Saturday 9 July from 10am to noon, is with guest author Joy Watson, about her recently published novel ‘The Other Me’
JULY Book Club
“First up we want to hear about the books you’ve been reading. Then we welcome Karina Szczurek, writer, publisher and literary critic, who will be in conversation with Joy Watson about her recently published novel ‘The Other Me’, described as funny, dark complex and heartbreaking”, reads the invitation.
“Joy Watson’s ‘The Other Me’ is a sinister, psychological take on the masks we all wear”, writes Sarah Hoek in The Daily Maverick. ” The Other Me is a chilling page-turner from the heart of Cape Town seen through a character who, as she manipulates those around her, ensnares the reader in her web too. The book is Joy Watson’s (a Maverick Life contributor) debut novel and is a testament to her work as a feminist researcher and academic as she presents complex discussions of femaleness and mental illness with nuance and a harsh realism – what happens when trauma goes uncared for? And can one escape the past? ”
The WZ Library Hub will be open after the meeting for borrowing and returning of books.
Now that Covid restrictions have been lifted let’s make this a bumper meeting!
