An Táin Book Club set to meet in Dundalk's Roe River Books

​An Táin Arts Centre’s book club returns to Roe River Books on Thursday, 30th July at 8pm to discuss Sleeping on Jupiter by Anuradha Roy.

​The book club is hosted by Paul Hayes and meets once per month.

Sleeping on Jupiter begins on a train bound for the seaside town of Jarmuli, known for its temples, three elderly women meet a young documentary filmmaker named Nomi, whose braided hair, tattoos, and foreign air set her apart. What is someone like her, clearly not a worshipper, doing in this remote place?

As their lives overlap and collide, Nomi's past comes into focus, and the serene surface of the town is punctured by violence and abuse as Jarmuli is revealed as a place with a long, dark history that transforms all who encounter it.

Sleeping on Jupiter is a brilliantly told story of contemporary India from an internationally acclaimed writer.

Paul Hayes, Director of An Táin Arts Centre said: “Book Club has developed into a really strong community of people who both enjoy reading but also enjoy debating opinions with one another in a friendly setting. Those who don’t see eye to eye often settle it over a post book club pint in McKeowns.”
