Opus: New Perspectives
Opus: New Perspectives is a literary gathering built around the books and stories that change the way we see people, places, and ideas we thought we already understood. Come ready to share a title from the shortlist, or bring a book, essay, or passage that recently shifted your own perspective and stayed with you afterward.
We’ll spend the afternoon swapping reflections, hearing excerpts, and opening up the kind of conversation that starts with a story and ends somewhere a little more interesting. Whether your pick is tender, surprising, provocative, or quietly transformative, this is a chance to celebrate the power of literature to crack open familiar things and reveal something new.
Our selection of stories:
Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi
