About this event

Booking will close on Monday 20th October 2025 at 12 noon.

Due to limited resources, we are UNABLE TO ACCEPT LATE BOOKINGS after this date.

This course will be held in Room 1G10 of the Dalhousie Building of the University of Dundee.

A book club with a difference. Each week a different tutor presents a work of literature from across the genres and facilitates a lively discussion. Literature offers us an alternative view of the world or an escape into the imaginations of the fiction writer and the poet. It creates characters we love or hate and challenges our perceptions.

Week 1 - 23rd October 2025

Tutor: Katie Donnelly

Work: Potiki by Patricia Grace
