Reading club on Silueta by Harkaitz Cano, Leioa library

Biblioteca de Leioa (Kultur Leioa)

On Thursday 17 December 2026 at 18:30 the library of Leioa, run by Kultur Leioa at José Ramón Aketxe 11, hosts a reading club session on the book Silueta by the writer Harkaitz Cano. The listing explains that, instead of the voluminous novel everyone expected, Ibarbia returned with an experimental work telling the story of a kidnapping. It notes that the novel left nobody lukewarm, and that the 31 comments written about it complete the book, the silhouette of Silueta. The listing says the book asks what we expect from art, from the reader, from criticism and from the memory of recent history. The session is held in Basque. Entry is free, as the listing states. No end time is given, so about an hour and a half is likely. A reading club is easy to join alone, since everyone has read the same book and conversation starts from it. «En el club de lectura de Leioa tratarán el libro Silueta del escritor Harkaitz Cano» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

Book club on Han Kang's Barazkijalea, Leioa Library

Biblioteca de Leioa (Kultur Leioa)

On Thursday 17 December 2026 at 18:30 the Biblioteca de Leioa, run by Kultur Leioa at José Ramón Aketxe 11, holds a reading club session on Barazkijalea, the Basque edition of Han Kang's novel. The listing summarises the book through the story of Yeongye, an honest, ordinary and unremarkable wife who, one night and to her husband's surprise, throws out all the meat in the fridge and turns vegetarian. From there she takes many other decisions that unsettle her and disorient her family. The listing calls it a story as strange as it is mysterious, which shakes the foundations of our whole civilisation. The session is in Basque and the price is free. No booking arrangement is given in the listing. A book club is easy to enjoy alone, because everyone has read the same novel and conversation starts from it. «Yeongye es una esposa honrada, habitual y sin encanto que, por una noche, para sorpresa de su marido, echa toda la carne que tienen en la nevera» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

The listing gives the price as free and the session language as Basque.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
