November's Book: Star by Yukio Mishima

Inspired by Japanese fiction and writers, the "All About Japan" book club is your chance to dive deeper into Japanese literature! Led by Hilson Reidpath, discussions will explore writings from classics to contemporary works through the lens of culture and translation.
