Bristol

Biography Reading Group

What it is: We take turns to recommend and introduce an autobiography/biography/memoir to each other.

When it is: Monthly on the last Wednesday of the month at 10am - 11.30am.

Where it is: On Zoom.

Hopefully we will cover a wide range of personalities, eras and writing styles. The personalities covered may be historical or contemporary. They may have political, artistic, sport or literary backgrounds and be from any culture or continent.

Participants will be encouraged to read each of our selected recommendations before the meeting so that we can share our impressions.

For further information contact the Group Convenor by clicking on the pigeon 'send a message' link, or see the latest Annual Bulletin.
