Neapolitan Book Club

Last year we read about a teenage girl’s descent into the belly of Naples, life-changing connections blooming inside the walls of the juvenile prison of Nisida, an encounter with a mysterious stranger under the dazzling sun of a summer on the Amalfi Coast, and gory fairy tales written by a seventeenth-century Neapolitan courtier. Now Il Corno is back with the second edition of its Neapolitan Book Club, the one and only book club entirely dedicated to fiction about and around Naples, be it by Neapolitan authors or set in the city and the surrounding area (with all selected books available in English or in English translation), led by Dr Greta Colombani. The rules are, as usual, simple: book your spot, read the book, and show up for an evening of relaxed and friendly book chat over a glass of delightful Campania wine or refreshing Italian lemonade. All are welcome, of course! To book your spot for one or all of the sessions register via Eventbrite or by emailing oxford@ilcorno.co.uk. Then, once you arrive at the event, you can choose between two ticket options: £5 a glass of wine and tarallo; £3 a soft drink and tarallo.
