Borderless Book Club is an online event series dedicated to translated literature. Founded in March 2020 in response to the pandemic, our aim is to provide an accessible discussion space where readers can meet and hear directly from translators and publishers.
We meet every third Thursday of the month (8pm UK time) on Zoom and feature books from all over the world, published by small UK indie presses (see our collaborators below). See our programme and sign up to our mailing list for invites to meetings, newsletters and more.
We also have an ongoing collaboration with fabulous YouTube channel Translators Aloud, who post readings of our featured books on their Borderless Book Club playlist - check it out and make sure to subscribe!
Borderless Book Club is an independent project organised and hosted by Maddie Rogers - visit our support page for more information on how you can support the project.
All our meetings are recorded and made available to listen on the Borderless Book Club podcast.
