The Quiet Place Book Club invites staff, students, graduates, and members of the public to join their reading group on Instagram. Their first book club read will be announced on Thursday, 1 March 2018.

There will be one book announced each month throughout the year and experts in the Department of English and Related Literature will provide comments and thought-provoking questions to encourage debate and guide our shared reading.

There will also be posts providing expert reactions to literary news headlines, national events, and seasonal topics.

Books in the book club will be related to areas of teaching and research in the Department of English and Related Literature, across all genres and age-ranges, as well as literary events in the York Festival of Ideas 2018.
