Event details
This activity is open to NTU staff.
Join Tracy Lowe online every second Wednesday of the month for our free staff book club.
Tracy is an Academic Skills Tutor, working with the Academic Engagement Team within Libraries Learning Resources. She has worked for NTU libraries for over 10 years and loves her job (her words!). She loves books; buying them, reading them, reviewing them, sharing them and talking about them. Join Tracy to chat about our book of the month and enjoy some general book chat too.
No need to book, just join online.
Our book for July — Assembly by Natasha Brown
Come of age in the credit crunch. Be civil in a hostile environment. Step out into a world of Go Home vans. Go to Oxbridge, get an education, start a career. Do all the right things. Buy a flat. Buy art. Buy a sort of happiness. But above all, keep your head down. Keep quiet. And keep going.
The narrator of Assembly is a Black British woman. She is preparing to attend a lavish garden party at her boyfriend's family estate, set deep in the English countryside.
At the same time, she is considering the carefully assembled pieces of herself. As the minutes tick down and the future beckons, she can't escape the question: is it time to take it all apart? Join us in July to let us know what you thought.
