Confessions - Book Club - JETAA Chicago & JASC YPC

A new twist on an old favorite! The JETAA Chicago and Japan America Society of Chicago YPC Book Club continues in 2023 with a meeting in October!

Join us for our next meeting on Thursday, October 26th!

Our book club focuses on highlighting voices and stories with a strong connection to Japan. For our next meeting we have chosen Confessions. Written by Kanae Minato, October's pick is narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions explores the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger.

Be sure to pick up a copy of the book and then join us for an evening of casual discussion in a virtual space via Zoom! Registrations are limited, so grab a spot while you can!

Sign up here!

This event is open to JET alumni, JASC YPC members, and friends.
