Science Fiction Book Club

The English Language LGBT Book Club has launched an LGBT Sci-Fi book club group, that will meet once a month.

The LGBT Sci-Fi & Fantasy group of the English Language LGBT Book Club Zurich, will discuss this book today:

„Black Sun“ by Rebecca Roanhorse
The first book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy, inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas and woven into a tale of celestial prophecies, political intrigue, and forbidden magic.

A god will return
When the earth and sky converge
Under the black sun

In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world.

Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain.

**The event takes place in the rooms of the Regenbogenhaus, which is open from 15h00-19h00 on Wednesdays. You’re welcome to visit the library, before the book discussion in the House of Color

**Reminder: The Sci-Fi & Fantasy books group meets monthly, and has an initial limit of 12 person (due to venue size at the Regenbogenhaus).

The Sci-Fi Fantasy group also has a separate Whatsapp Group chat, and Excel sheet for suggesting and voting on books to read.
