What we’re about

Hello! My name is Melissa and I live in Cambridge. I am looking to have a book club type group and to meet new people in the area. I generally like novels, memoirs, short stories, and essays that are psychologically interesting and very "deep" because I am currently in a doctoral program studying psychoanalysis. (I like an excuse to go to dark and weird places!)
Anybody over the age of 30 is welcome to join this group. Ideally, you are an open-minded person who likes to read and is interested in having new emotional or intellectual experiences.

Currently this book club only meets online but if you express a devoted interest, I can schedule something in person.

Mon, Jan 13, 2025, 1:00 AM UTCBook Discussion: THIS IS NOT A CONFESSION by David Olimpio
Link visible for attendees
Hey guys,
I’ve had this collection of non-fiction on my to-read list since 2016. The time has come!!! As book club approaches, we can pick 3 essays to focus on.

Goodreads blurb:

“Literary Nonfiction. Essays. Through these powerful and insightful essays, David Olimpio explores the residual effects of sexual abuse, divorce, and grief. With surprising candor and a disarming sense of humor, Olimpio takes on the outwardly wholesome landscape of his suburban Houston childhood and the complex sexual relationships in his adult life. Both poignant and poetic, THIS IS NOT A CONFESSION leaves us with a sense that our identities have the power to transcend our circumstances.”
