Reading Club - Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson
Welcome to Reading Club at La Camionera, where we read and discuss queer, literary and theory classics on the third Sunday of every month!
Feel free to arrive early to do some reading before we begin (or stay later and keep chatting!) Each session will begin with an introduction to the text of the week, before opening up into group discussion and a chance to break off into smaller circles. Every attendee will receive a book review card to fill out, prompts to guide discussion, and a suggestion for further readings.
Readers of all experiences very welcome. Finishing the text beforehand is advised but not essential <3

THIS MONTH: Written on the Body - Jeanette Winterson
Back on a real high, May’s read is Jeanette Winterson’s enigmatic Written on the Body. Funny, sexy, devastating: told from the perspective of an unnamed, ungendered narrator, we follow the insatiable affair that begins to unfold with Louise – a married woman. An ode to love, yearning, heartbreak and grief – told through the medium of the body.
Can’t wait to discuss with you all <3
