April Book Club

Black Book Club at Villa Vida invites Black readers in Vienna to gather for a thoughtful conversation around Theft by Abdulrazak Gurnah.

In this novel, Gurnah explores memory, belonging, migration, and the weight of personal history. The story follows characters whose lives shift through friendship, betrayal, and the search for dignity in a changing world. His writing offers sharp insight into colonial legacies and the emotional cost of displacement.

This gathering creates space for reflection, dialogue, and connection. You do not need to finish the book to participate. Come with curiosity and an open mind.

What to expect
• A guided discussion of Theft
• Space to share perspectives and questions
• A welcoming room for Black readers  in Vienna
• Good conversation over coffee and community
