Clare Hall Book Club

Join the College’s Book Club as they discuss Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (2020).

Piranesi is a fantasy novel by English author Susanna Clarke, published by Bloomsbury Publishing in 2020. The novel is set in a parallel universe made up of an infinite number of halls and vestibules, which triggers a gradual loss of memory and identity in newcomers. Piranesi is a story about transformation and the work of a thinker, transformed. The historical Piranesi, an 18th-century engraver, is celebrated for his intricate and oppressive visions of imaginary prisons and for his precise renderings of classical edifices.

All College members are welcome to attend in-person, meeting in Clare Hall’s Meeting Room, or via Zoom. If you are not on the mailing list and would like to be, please send an email to gloria.carnevali@icloud.com, confirming your Clare Hall connection and putting the following as the email title: I would like to join the Book Club mailing list.
