Book Club - 01/07/2026 - Taiwan Travelogue, by Yang Shuang-zi

Join us for month five of book club at Waystone. 

The club will run from 7pm-9pm on the first Wednesday of July, the 1st.  

This month we'll be looking at this year's recently announced International Booker Prize winner, Taiwan Travelogue. The book follows a fictional Japanese travel and food writer visiting Taiwan in 1938, at that time a Japanese colony. The writer, Aoyama Chizuko, develops a relationship with her local translator. The book is metafictional, presenting as a rediscovered historical travel writing, and deals with themes of colonialism, relationships, language, the nature of translation, and travel. 

Your ticket price includes a free hot drink of your choice (we'll have the espresso machine on, and do have decaf!). 

Admission and tickets for our clubs allows us to plan for an accurate number of attendees and ensure we can cover staff costs for the evening.
