The Booker Tea Reading Group meets monthly to discuss award-winning
and notable literature from across the globe, with an emphasis
on works that illuminate socio-political figures, ideas and
events.
The group was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1997 with an initial
focus on titles that had been awarded or short-listed for the
Booker Prize. Now known as the Man Booker Prize, this award
is the premier literary award of the British Commonwealth and
the Republic of Ireland, and arguably one of the most coveted
literary awards of the planet today. Prize-winning authors include
Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood, Kazuo Ishiguro, V.S. Naipaul
and Iris Murdoch.
The group now meets in both Washington, D.C. and in Berlin,
Germany. Meetings are held one Sunday each month in the homes
of our members. Members are expected to bring a dish, dessert,
fruit, cheese or bread to share with other readers in a potluck
meal.
The discussion is casual, rather than academic in nature.
There are no restrictions on or fees assigned to membership
in the group.
