The EFACIS book club aims to introduce readers to highlights of Irish literature, both past and present. All meetings of the EFACIS book club will take place online, via zoom.

During our 2-hour sessions, the work is briefly introduced and contextualized by an expert and then discussed by the participants of the session.
