SUMMARY:Amplify Book Club
DESCRIPTION:A monthly bookish meet up at Amplify =\n\n\nJoin us for a cosy and reflective evening in our reading room! Come ready to chat about our latest read and make new bookish friends. \nBook club will be held from 6-8pm on the last Thursday of each month\, with the book of the month alternating between fiction and non-fiction. As always\, we aim to read widely across genres and topics\, so there will be a range of options for every reader as the months go on. \nThe book club is for everyone\, equally\, to share and contribute their ideas — facilitators are just present to help guide the night and break the ice (and participate!). The fiction book club will be facilitated by Kanika Chopra. Non-fiction will be facilitated by Marina Sano and Nishtha B. \nAll participants will get 10% off any in-store purchases on book club nights. There will also be nibbles and a welcome drink (non-alcoholic) to get you settled in! \nThe book club will be held in our reading room at 55 Peel St\, West Melbourne. The reading room is accessed via a spiral staircase. If this is an accessibility issue for you\, please be in touch after making your booking so we can accommodate your needs. \nOur reading room has a limited capacity so tickets are capped to reflect this. If you can no longer make it\, please let us know up to a week prior and we will try to facilitate a ticket transfer. Please note tickets are non-refundable but they can be transferred if we have someone on the waitlist who wants your seat.  \nBook club is a safe space for everyone to have thought-provoking\, insightful conversations about books. Please come with an open mind and be open respectful to our hosts and participants. We have safe spaces for you to step aside and take a moment for yourself if/when necessary. Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated. Amplify Bookstore reserves the right to revoke tickets.

SUMMARY:Josh Silver: Fruit Fly
DESCRIPTION:Join British novelist Josh Silver for a conversation about his novel that has everyone talking.\nFacing writer’s block and a floundering literary career\, Mallory makes a desperate decision to stay relevant: go gay\, go sad and go dark. Those are the ingredients for a bestseller\, after all. All she needs now is a story. \nWhen she meets Leo\, a young man struggling with addiction\, Mallory believes she has found exactly the material she’s been looking for – a life that is authentically queer\, heartbreakingly sad and undeniably marketable. \nTold through alternating perspectives\, Josh Silver’s Fruit Fly raises urgent questions about authenticity\, identity and the commodification of someone else’s experiences. He joins host Michael Sun to discuss his debut adult novel described by Juno Dawson as ‘savage and darkly hilarious’.
