Book club on Thursday 10th May - "The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories" by Angela Carter
  • Jenny

    Location: Old Dairy
    Date: 10th May
    Time: 7pm.

    Following on from our enjoyable meeting about the Pickwick Papers, we decided to go for a much shorter choice this time. 'The Bloody Chamber' is a retelling of classic fairy tales from a feminist perspective. We agreed that everyone should read the title story, and any or all of the others as desired.

    This book is only 126 pages long!

    Thanks Jenny! Looking forward to it.

    P.S. In case this attracts anyone else to come along: it is dead sexy and full of wolves.

    dead sexy AND full of wolves, you say? hmmm

  • Jenny

    Yes definitely.  I didn't sell it too well in the intro. These are fairy tales for ADULTS.

    Really enjoying re-reading it - about 15 years since I last did!

    Is it too late to make this post STICKY - or whatever the new equivalent is?  Thanks.

    Looking forward to this on Thursday. If anyone wants to borrow the book, I can lend it and you will have time to read it, it is so short!

    My best line: 'Weeping, the Count got off his horse, unfastened his breeches, and thrust his virile member into the dead girl."
