Magpie Books and Relish Bar & Market are coming together to host a book club! This time we’ll be getting together with pals to read and discuss Big Mall: Shopping for Meaning by Kate Black. You can find the book at Magpie Books (book not included in ticket price).
Get your hands on the book, devour it, then join us at Relish on January 21 to discuss it over wine and some nibbles. Tickets are required, and include a small glass of wine and some nibbles. A limited number of spots in the club is available!
Non-alc drinks are available for those who prefer that to wine. Relish is located inside Ritchie Market at 9570 76 Ave, Edmonton.
Book Description
Big Mall: Shopping for Meaning
If the mall makes us feel bad, why do we keep going back? In a world poisoned by capitalism, is shopping what makes life worth living?
Kate Black grew up in West Edmonton Mall. It's a place people love to hate and hate to love – a site of pleasure and pain, of death and violence, of (sub)urban legend. Blending a history of shopping with a story of coming of age in North America's largest and strangest mall, Big Mall investigates how these structures have become the ultimate symbol of late-capitalist dread – and, surprisingly, a subversive site of hope.
