Truman’s Book Club Social – 20th October
October 20 @ 18:30 – 20:00
At Truman’s Book Club Social in October, hosted at Cargo Wines here in Farsley, we’ll be discussing the book Tender is the Flesh by Agustine Bazterrica.
A ticket to attend Truman’s Book Club Social is £18. This includes the book (which will be available for you to collect in the shop once you’ve made a booking online) and your first drink on the evening (beer, wine or soft drink). If you already have the book, you can select a ticket that will include a £10 Truman’s Gift Voucher instead of a book.
About the Book
New special edition with a new afterword by the author of this shocking dystopian novel and TikTok sensation in which cannibalism is legal
If everyone was eating human meat, would you?
Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans – only no one calls them that. He works with numbers, consignments, processing. One day, he’s given a specimen of the finest quality.
He leaves her tied up in an outhouse, a problem to be disposed of later. But she haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, and watchful gaze, seem to understand.
And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost – and what might still be saved…
READER REVIEWS

When & Where?
This Truman’s Book Club Social will take place on Tuesday 20th October, 6.30pm (for a 7pm start), at Cargo Wines, Sunny Bank Mills. One of the benefits of us hosting our Book Club in a Wine Bar means that when the book chat is done, if you wish, you’re free to stay on to continue to enjoy the company and the conversation, and maybe another drink or two.
We’d like a relaxed evening of booky chat, so if the thought of sitting round in a big circle feels a little intimidating, this is the Book Club for you. Our aim is to have a more informal feel, with smaller groups sat chatting around tables. We can help you find a seat and make sure everyone feels comfortable.
We’re thinking an hour of chat about the month’s book (and the topics and experiences it leads to). In the future, we’d love to be able to welcome guest authors to join us to discuss their books.
Hope to see you there!
