Cactus Book Club: “The Dispossessed” by Ursula K. Le Guin
Join us Wednesday, August 6th for our next Cactus Book Club. This month’s featured organization Tooth + Nail Studio will lead the discussion on The Dispossessed (50th anniversary edition) by Ursula K. Le Guin. “In celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, a commemorative edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award–winning classic, a profound and thoughtful tale of anarchism and capitalism, individualism and collectivism, and one ambitious man’s quest to bridge the ideological chasm separating two worlds”.
Recommended bookseller: Lion’s Tooth
Tooth + Nail is “an artist-run studio and gallery dedicated to inspiring and supporting collaboration, education, social impact, and connection through art. Rotating gallery shows feature local artists with a focus on underrepresented voices. Workshops from guest artists in any medium or topic are offered monthly and a full ceramic studio is available for community use through their four-week or one-day classes, plus open studio hours on the weekends”.
ABOUT US: Cactus Book Club (CBC) meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7:30 in the venue room at Cactus Club. Each month a different business, community organization, collective, or mutual aid group chooses the book & recommended bookseller then leads the discussion. We read sociopolitical fiction and non-fiction, with a focus on works by women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and/or otherwise under-published groups. You don’t have to finish reading the book to attend. All book club meetings are free. No registration required. 18+. CBC is part of our ongoing Cactus+ programming. Contact: kelly@cactusplus.org with questions.
