Reading Groups & Workshops

Join Our New Reading Groups

We are starting three reading groups! These are intentionally broad to begin with, as we'd like the groups to develop organically and for their shape and direction to be guided by the interests of regular attendees. They reflect EBB’s core interests: small-press publishing, translation, radical thought. We would be open to more focused groups, or to narrowing these ones around particular interests as they evolve. 

📅 When & Where?

Reading groups will take place on Wednesdays at 18:30 at EBB.

📖 How Does It Work?

• We’ve selected initial texts to get things started, but we’d love for future choices to be decided collectively.
• We kindly ask that participants purchase the book from us (unless you already own a copy). We offer a 10 % discount and will always select affordable books.
• Each session will be informal and discussion-based—no pressure.
