About Event
Latitude Book Club explores globally diverse literary fiction, focusing on historical, political, and diaspora perspectives.
For our second session we are reading Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi. This short novel is based on the author’s meeting with a woman awaiting execution in Qanatir prison, Egypt. Firdaus tells her story to a psychiatrist: a childhood in a village, a life in Cairo, and the violence of the men and institutions around her.
Trigger warning: the book deals with sexual violence and female genital mutilation.
To help us support independent bookselling, we warmly encourage all attendees to purchase upcoming club picks directly through our venue partner, One More Chapter.
