Events › Better with a Beverage Book Discussion: I Who Have Never Known Men

Join the Richard M. Daley Branch for a discussion of I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman.

I Who Have Never Known Men is a haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic novel of female friendship and intimacy, and the lengths people will go to maintain their humanity in the face of devastation. Back in print for the first time since 1997, Harpman's modern classic is an important addition to the growing canon of feminist speculative literature.

Relax, enjoy a beverage and read. Over the course of the month, read I Who Have Never Known Men and aim to try at least one beverage from a Chicago-based institution of your choice while you read. At the end of the month, we will meet on Zoom to discuss the book and any interesting beverages you tried. Feel free to join the discussion BYOB style.

Copies of the title are available for checkout at the Richard M. Daley Branch. This event is hosted by Jacob from the Richard M. Daley Branch.
