Book to be discussed:  “A Domestic Animal” by Francis King

Book to be discussed: “A Domestic Animal” by Francis King

Tue, Dec 1, 11:30 PM
From NYC Gay Guys' Book Club
4.7

"Francis King's 1970 novel *A Domestic Animal* is the story of Antonio Valli, a brilliant young Italian philosopher, who arrives to do a year's research at a well-to-do university. He lodges with Dick Thompson, a successful middle-aged novelist, and his good looks and impulsive yet immensely likeable character soon have Dick captivated. Valli is someone who needs to be admired and loved and has an insatiable craving for attention from everyone he meets; he needs an audience to perform to and he finds this at the university, but especially in Dick's company. It is not long before Dick Thompson has fallen completely in love with his charming - but very heterosexual - lodger. What follows is an ill-fated relationship that can only end in disaster, but in *A Domestic Animal* King has created a novel of bitter longing and painful complexities. 'Few English novelists have written with more might and assurance . . .' Spectator" — [goodreads.com](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7676080-a-domestic-animal?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_35) After the meeting, we head over to Julius' (one of the oldest operating gay bars in NYC) to chat about things other than books. Julius' is at 159 West 10th Street (on the corner of Waverly Place, about a block from the library). www.juliusbarny.com

November Book Club: The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives by Elizabeth Arnott

November Book Club: The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives by Elizabeth Arnott

Sun, Nov 15, 5:00 PM
From Boozy Bronx Book Club
4.9

For our November meetup, we're celebrating some of the **best books thus far!** This will also be **our last book club meetup of 2026 before we break for the holidays**, so we're adding a little something extra to close out the year! ### This Month's Book **The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives by Elizabeth Arnott** *Three women. Three murderous husbands. One killer mystery.* It's 1966 in sunny California, where Beverley, Elsie, and Margot have something rather unusual in common: they were all married to notorious serial killers. Now trying to rebuild their lives under the weight of scandal and suspicion, the three women form an unlikely friendship. But when a new string of murders rocks their community, they decide to investigate themselves. After all, who better to catch a killer than women who once shared a home with one? Part murder mystery, part female friendship, and full of secrets, this one should give us plenty to talk about! ### 📚 Bonus: Bring a Book, Take a Book! Since this is our last meetup of the year, we're adding a little **book swap** to the fun! Have books sitting on your shelves that you've finished, don't plan to reread, or are ready to donate? Bring them along and give them a second life with a fellow book lover! Bring a book(s), or browse what others have brought. **No pressure to participate!** The swap is completely optional. **When: Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 12:00 PM (Noon)** **Where: Bronx Alehouse** 216 W 238th St, Bronx, NY Whether you've been coming all year or are joining us for the first time, we'd love to see you as we close out our 2026 book club season. **Let's end the year on a high note. See you at noon! 🍻📚**
