Japan Society of Boston Book Club

Wednesday, February 26, 2024

from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM ET

Do you love Japanese literature? The JSB Book Club will be meeting to discuss The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa.

Acclaimed writer, Yoko Ogawa's 1994 science fiction novel takes place on an island reminiscent of settings from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and is influenced by the melancholy and dream-like tones of modernist writer Franz Kafka.

The JSB Book Club meets on the last Wednesday of every other month to discuss great modern Japanese novels. The purpose of our club is to strengthen the Boston community of Japan enthusiasts by creating a space for thoughtful and sociable discussion.

The club is limited to Japan Society of Boston Members. Interested in joining but not yet a Member of the Japan Society of Boston? Consider becoming a Member today! If you are already a Member and interested in the group, please contact us to have your name added to the club mailing list
