Anna's Booktalk

Open books with the blue "Anna's Booktalk" logo on them

The next meeting of the Anna's Booktalk book club will take place on November 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at the Anna Seghers Public Library!

The Anna Seghers Public Library is looking forward to the next Booktalk event on November 12!

As usual, we’ll meet at 5 p.m. at the Public Library to discuss the novel we’ve chosen together in a cozy and entertaining setting. Just stop by—no registration required!

 

In November, we’ll be reading Vladimir Nabokov’s novel *Laughter in the Dark* together.

The novel tells the story of Albinus, who lives in 1920s Berlin and seems to lead a perfect life. But then he leaves his wife for a young girl, which completely changes his life. The novel explores love and passion, but also addresses obsession and the fatal consequences of our decisions.

Everyone has until November 12 to familiarize themselves with the novel. Of course, anyone who hasn’t read the novel (or hasn’t read it all the way through) is also very welcome to join us.

We’re already looking forward to hearing your thoughts and discussing this exciting work together!

 

Come on by—we’re looking forward to seeing you!
