Description: We read and discuss works of fiction by Asian authors (with Asian settings), as well as non-fiction books about Asian history and current events. My thought is that in order to begin to know and understand a country or a region, to get a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the people, their culture, their country - it makes sense to read both the “hard stuff” (history, etc.), and “soft stuff” (novels, etc.). Of course it is a hopelessly broad ‘category’, but our book club’s previous incarnation – all history books – was even wider! I think for a general interest, layperson audience, this approach, albeit dauntingly broad, will be fun and perhaps lead us to places we might not otherwise have gone.
