First Meeting of the Teen Book Club

Together with Lika Rodina — educator, enlightener, and author of the YouTube channel "OkKult," we will talk about:

How to write a story that captivates from the very first lines?

What makes a character truly alive?

Should books teach something or is it okay to just enjoy them?

How to ask the right questions to books and find answers in them?

At the end of the meeting, we will read and discuss Vladimir Nabokov’s short story "The Dragon" — a tale about a mythical monster who turned out not to be a hero of legends, but a victim of people’s fears and indifference.

No long novels — only short stories, comics, and graphic novels! Each book club meeting will focus on one book. The book list will be announced after the first meeting!
