Social Refuge Bookshop & Coffee House
Join us for an evening of readings, discussion, and ideas that will challenge the boundaries of language and literature. The first chapter of the featured work is free and available to everyone, and we’ll share excerpts from other chapters throughout the night.
Together, we’ll explore:
Why multilingual societies matter now more than ever.
The joy and challenge of reading books we don’t fully “understand.”
How queer women writers are leading a global literary movement rooted in language, identity, and connection.
Bring your curiosity, your thoughts, and your voice to this unique conversation.
Manchester City of Literature is committed to inclusion and accessibility for everyone.
Every person who uses our website deserves an inclusive online experience with options allowing you to choose how best to navigate and consume information to suit your needs.
