These Oak Park authors will discuss the power of fiction and poetry as witness, resilience, and archive-making.

The Romantasy Society Book Club
Do you crave impossible worlds, morally gray characters, dangerous magic, and stories that ruin your sleep schedule? The Romantasy Society is a book club for readers who disappear into books and forget the real world exists. Join us as we discuss This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews. When Maggie wakes up cold, filthy, and naked in a gutter, it doesn’t take her long to recognize Kair Toren, a city she knows intimately from the pages of the famously unfinished dark fantasy series she’s been obsessively reading and re-reading while waiting years for the final novel. Her only tools for navigating this gritty world of rival warlords, magic, and mayhem? Her encyclopedic knowledge of the plot, the setting, and the characters’ ambitions and fates. Registration is free. Get a 10% discount for your copy of the book.
