BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE at the Oude Leeskamer ❤️

Thank you to all for a wonderfully enriching conversation and thank you to the Oude Leeskamer for hosting.

Earlier tonight @thebooklounge.bsky.social: Roger Lucey in conversations with John Maytham at the launch of his HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

An evening of storytelling and music.

Thank you to everyone who made the event possible and to all who attended!

BOOK REVIEW | 'Burning down the house': A Feminist call to rethink home, power and gender violence 'As a metaphor for dismantling gender hierarchies, Burning Down the House is a powerful attempt to ask the questions that help us rethink our homes as sites of gender reproduction.'

Last night @thebooklounge.bsky.social: the launch of THE CONSULTING ROOM by Dawn Garisch. She was in conversation with Kate Sidley. What a wonderful evening of poetry and fascinating discussion. Thank you to everyone who made it possible!

"That's what I was hoping for,
for adoration to become tenderness,
for lovingkindness to sound less sinister."
