Burning Down the House at the Oude Leeskamer

Burning Down the House is a fierce new collection bringing together the freshest, most vital feminist voices writing today. Part manifesto, part love letter, part act of resistance, these personal essays ignite conversations about popular culture and how the personal really is political. What happens when we set fire to the old stories and tell our own?

Join us on the 17th of November at 18:00 in Jannie se Leeskamer for the book talk discussing a feminist appraisal of space with Stella Viljoen, Chan Croeser, Che Adams, Kiasha Naidoo and Waratwa Zanokuhle Miya.

Free entry, but please book your seat here: BOOK TALK

The Day of the Dead at Liberty Books

Traditionally celebrated on the last day of October or in early November, the Day of the Dead is an occasion on which family and friends gather to pay their respects to those who have passed on. This year, we are inviting literary friends and family to celebrate the day with Christy Weyer, Consuelo Roland and Alex Latimer at Liberty Books on 4 November 2025.

Consuelo (The Good Cemetery Guide) and Alex (Love Stories for Ghosts) have both written movingly about the dead, remembering and honouring them as well as celebrating their lives and thus encouraging us readers to celebrate ours, here and beyond.

Day of the Dead themed dressing up is optional (but to be strongly considered). All are welcome to attend this free event!
Hope to see you there!
