Sobre el Club
This is a hybrid between a city tour and the book club I host every month here in BA for a community of women from all over the world. The idea is to introduce you to one or two Argie women authors and send you a reading guide with the texts in English and Spanish, along with some cultural context. Then, we meet and stroll around the city (finding connections with the texts) and afterward, we sit at a cafe or bar to continue discussing the texts. We mix Argentine history and culture with books.
It is around 2 hours long. The price is USD 120, which includes the short walking tour, reading guide, and a drink and snack at the bar.
Nothing about this feels like a class. It's closer to meeting a friend for coffee or vino and talking about a book :)
FAQ
Is this a tour?
Kind of. It's a way of discovering Buenos Aires, but a literary one. We take a short walk and then sit down at a café or a bar to talk about the text.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No. The text comes in a good English translation and the conversation can happen entirely in English. If you speak Spanish or you're learning, we can move between both languages, or run the whole session in Spanish. Your call.
Do I have to read anything beforehand?
It's better if you do. It's short and it comes with a guide, so it's not much work. The session is a conversation, and it works best when you arrive having read it.
Which writers do you read?
Contemporary Argentine women writers, mostly. Hebe Uhart, Diana Bellessi, Mariana Enriquez, among others. You'll pick a theme when you book and we build the session around it.
How long is it and where does it happen?
Two hours, at a café or a bar in Buenos Aires depending on the time of day. We're flexible, and we'll agree on the neighbourhood once you book.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. It works well for solo travelers and for groups of friends.
Is it really private?
Yes. It's just you, or you and whoever you're travelling with.
Is coffee or wine included?
Yes. Coffee or wine, plus something to eat.
What if I can't make it?
Cancel up to 72 hours before and you get a full refund. After that we can't refund the session.
