Are you interested in engaging conversations about German-language literature? Our German Book Club invites anyone interested to read a selected book in German and discuss it in a relaxed atmosphere.
Whether classics or contemporary literature, novels or short stories—the focus is on exchanging thoughts, impressions, and perspectives. The meetings offer a great opportunity to actively use the German language, expand your vocabulary, and meet other literature enthusiasts.

This club meets once per month, alternating in person and virtual sessions. In person sessions will take place at the Goethe-Institut Boston and virtual sessions will take place on Zoom, unless stated otherwise. Below you will find the dates and titles selected for this year. Please reach out to moderator, Barbara Eskin, if you are interested in joining.
