I think it's about time that Wimbledon Village had its own book club. What I have in mind is a group that comes together to discuss books, probably mostly fiction but with a little other stuff thrown into the mix and meeting over coffee, or food, or drinks in a local cafe, restaurant or bar. There may be the occasional 'other event' like a 'meet the author' or a theatre trip, but with books and friendly discussion at the core. At great way to make new friends or cement friendships too. If you'd …

Postmodern authors also tend to celebrate chance over craft, and further employ metafiction to undermine the writer's authority. Another characteristic of postmodern literature is the questioning of distinctions between high and low culture through the use of pastiche, the combination of subjects and …
