This month, we're going on a mission of persuasion with Genly Ai - an envoy of a galactic civilisation as he tries to understand the inhabitants of the planet he has been sent to recruit. Differences of biology, gender, religion and philosophy separate Genly from the Gethenians and all feature as just some of the themes we will explore when discussing this book.
The meeting starts at 7pm with drink breaks at 8 and 9. The discussion will end around 10pm,
