In the UK today, men read for pleasure at a much lower rate than women, creating missed opportunities for connection, reflection and shared experiences. The Men's Reading Circle are looking to close that gap. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eThey are an inclusive, welcoming space for all men, including trans men and non binary people comfortable in a masculine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eIn October they'll be reading Medea Sang me a Corrido by Dahlia de la Cerda\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gardners.com\/Search?Author=Dahlia%20de%20la%20Cerda\u0026amp;fq=14120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA punk revival of Medea as a Mexican anti-angel of birth and death, from the International Booker Prize-nominated author of Reservoir Bitches. In Northern Mexico, Paulina, Perla, Antonia, Reina, and Jordan are striving to survive the barrio, hustling on the edge of a cartel-run economy, nursing the wounds made normal in a world that eats its own. Hovering over their trials is a spirit with gothic flair, dressed in black and crowned with braids: Medea, a mythic mother of the Chihuahuan desert, ancient as the Aztecs but never too old to be petty.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom aiding a trophy girlfriend’s abortion, to accompanying a mother in her search for her lost child in the desert, to embracing those taken too soon in the narco’s brutal proxy wars, Medea fights for justice for her chosen mortals — her divine wrath the only power that could rival the corrupt, violent web spun by the cartel, the government, and the military. Dahlia de la Cerda’s magnetic prose draws readers right into the heart of that web and links all our fates to the missions of Medea, equal parts midwife and gravedigger, a femme fatale god in a femicidal world.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eYou can find out more about the reading circle and get in touch with them \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/glasgowreadingcircle\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand as always you can choose from two different types of ticket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvent Ticket \u0026amp; Copy of Medea Sang me a Corrido\u003c\/strong\u003e- Perfectly normal event ticket plus a 10% discount off of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvent Ticket Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA classic option, timeless even, absolutely does what it says on the tin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mount Florida Books","offers":[{"title":"Ticket \u0026 Copy of Medea Sang Me a Corrido","offer_id":56823649829250,"sku":null,"price":9.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ticket Only","offer_id":56823649862018,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/MRCOCT.png?v=1785929965","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/mens-reading-circle-tuesday-13th-october-medea-sang-me-a-corrido","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
