We’re very pleased to announce the launch of our September Book Club on Georges Simenon’s The Engagement, as part of the Reading the World series. This month, discussion will be headed by guest bloggers Chad Post from Three Percent, translator Anna Moschovakis and Rolling Stone contributor, Mark Binelli. We encourage you to pick up a copy and join in the discussion. The Engagement is a work of chilling psychological drama underlined by a compassionate humanity; as with all things, the more the merrier!
