Join us for the monthly Highlight Bookclub at Vastela Books, a curated literary discussion series centered around the bookstore’s featured monthly selection.

Each month, bookstore owner Ana chooses one newly published book to spotlight — the only non-secondhand title sold at Vastela during that month. Two/three months later, readers are invited back to discuss the book together in an open and welcoming community conversation.

For this edition of the Highlight Bookclub, we will discuss So Long a Letter by Mariama Bâ, the important Senegalese author delivers a semi-autobriographical epistolary novel exploring themes of family, community, polygamy and religion.

This literary event in Zurich is perfect for readers interested in contemporary international fiction, translated literature, independent bookstores, and thoughtful book discussions in an intimate setting.

Whether you finished the book cover to cover or simply want to listen and join the conversation, all are welcome.

Perfect for:

• Readers looking for curated contemporary literature
• Fans of international and translated fiction
• People seeking English-language book clubs in Zurich
• Anyone wanting deeper literary discussion and community

Come discover new perspectives, share your thoughts, and connect with fellow readers at Vastela Books.
