Join our discussion of books with a cult following and other literary classics. We'll unpack the books that refuse to be forgotten and have gained social notoriety over the years. They may not have been instant classics, but they have made their impact on the literary scene, featuring titles available to borrow from our physical or e-collections. All free with your Randwick City Library card!
If you've never read Orlando or Don Juan and would like to discuss more similar titles, why not sign up and join us in this easy-going book club!
