22:28Now PlayingDarkness at Noon Summary & Analysis with Liza Libes
Welcome to Liza’s Book Club! Here at Pens and Poison, we love all things literature, but we also recognize that we all run busy lives and sometimes don’t always find the time to read—myself included! I’m here to remedy that by introducing the new Liza’s Book Club series, where we’ll commit to reading just one book a month and analyzing it together. Each month, I’ll read a book with you, and we’ll analyze it and discuss it at the end of the month. I’m excited to also have the chance to answer your questions about each of the books at hand, so don’t forget to email your questions about the books we’re reading to liza@pensandpoison.com.
For the month of July, we will be reading Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler, a monumental read that takes on the totalitarian Soviet state. You can access our Darkness at Noon study guide on my blog and in PDF format.
