Literature Clubhouse aims to be a 'third-space' for young people in their 20s to share a love of literature. Come along to our latest meet!
About this Event

Welcome to our latest event happening at Since I Left You (SILY), a bar and restaurant in Sydney's CBD! This month we will be reading a selection of short stories by various classic authors. These short stories are only a page or two long so please try to read a couple before you come.


Short Stories for Jan:

  • Borges and I by Jorge Luis Borges
  • The Bet by Anton Chekhov
  • Taste by Roald Dahl
  • The Stone by Karen Louise Lrdrich
  • Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
  • Love by Clarise Lispector
  • Recitatif by Toni Morrison
  • Why I Write by George Orwell
  • Notes on Nationalism by George Orwell
  • The Devoted Friend by Oscar Wilde


We'll also be reading The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin in February so start reading that now too!


For those new to Literature Clubhouse, we are a growing bookclub that focusses on classic, philosophy, and feminist literature. If you're in your 20s and looking for a third-space to meet likeminded people, make new friends, and enjoy some good food and drink, then come along to our monthly meet-ups.


Please aim to have read (or have at least started reading) the book(s) before coming to the event as it helps facilitate a more lively conversation. If you couldn't get to it or signed up last minute thats fine too! We'd still love to see you there.


The booking is under the name 'Tom Farrow'. Please make sure not to arrive early as we need time to prepare your fun evening!
