There she sees a cockroach - black\, dusty\, pr ehistoric - crawling out of the wardrobe and\, panicking\, slams the door on it. Her irresistible fascination with the dying insect provokes a spiri tual crisis within\, in which she questions her place in the universe and her very identity\, propelling her towards an act of shocking transgressio n. Clarice Lispector's spare\, deeply disturbing yet luminous novel transf orms language into something otherworldly\, and is one of her most unsettl ing and compelling works."\n\nAs a reminder\, this meetup's intentions are to be out and about in the city\, exploring new places for drinks and dis cussions about books.

More than a hundred years later\, this tale of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil\, inner pers ona—the loathsome\, twisted Mr. Hyde—has lost none of its ability to s hock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Jekyll's des peration as Hyde gains control of his soul—and gives voice to our own fe ars of the violence and evil within us. Written before Freud's naming of t he ego and the id\, Stevenson's enduring classic demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the personality's inner conflicts—and remains the irre sistibly terrifying stuff of our worst nightmares."\n\nAs a reminder\, thi s meetup's intentions are to be out and about in the city\, exploring new places for drinks and discussions about books.

One night her solitude is disrupted by a visitor--a speechl ess\, mercurial boy named Simon\, who tries to steal from her and then rep ays her with his most precious possession. As Kerewin succumbs to Simon's feral charm\, she also falls under the spell of his Maori foster father Jo e\, who rescued the boy from a shipwreck and now treats him with an unsett ling mixture of tenderness and brutality. Out of this unorthodox trinity K eri Hulme has created what is at once a mystery\, a love story\, and an am bitious exploration of the zone where indigenous and European New Zealand meet\, clash\, and sometimes merge."\n\nAs a reminder\, this meetup's inte ntions are to be out and about in the city\, exploring new places for drin ks and discussions about books.
