Book & Film Club - The Old Man & the Sea

Each month we take a book that has an interesting film adaptation and spend the evening comparing the two. The ticket price includes a copy of the book (which can be collected from our Abergavenny bookshop once you’ve booked your place) and the film screening at The Kings Arms. The bookThe Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is a spare, powerful novella about an ageing Cuban fisherman, Santiago, and his solitary struggle to catch a giant marlin far in Hemingway’s famously restrained prose, the book explores endurance, pride, dignity, and humanity’s relationship with nature, finding profound meaning in simplicity and perseverance. The filmThe film adaptation brings Santiago’s ordeal to life through striking visuals and a meditative pace that mirrors the novel’s tone. Focusing on the physical and psychological intensity of the journey, the film emphasises isolation, resilience, and quiet heroism. It translates Hemingway’s minimalist style into a reflective cinematic experience that invites the viewer to sit with struggle, beauty, and grace in defeat as well as victory.

LGBTQ+ Book Club - July

Our first LGBTQ+ Book Club will be held at Book-ish Crickhowell on Monday 27th July at 7.30pm-9pm We are so excited to say we will be reading The Boyfriend Academy by Jack Strange! You can pick up your book from Book-ish in Crickhowell or Abergavenny. Love is forbidden. Truth is dangerous. Survival is everything. Ganymede’s is no ordinary boarding school. Behind its spiral towers and manicured lawns, boys are forged into the men society demands – strong, obedient, perfect. Graduate, and the world is yours: a home, a career, a wife. But fail… and you’re no longer useful to society. The ticket includes a glass of wine or soft drink, a discussion with prompt questions given by the host that week and a copy of the book we are reading. *Jack also has an event with us on Wednesday 22nd July with Emily Garside (author of Rainbow Wales) at Bookish Abergavenny. Tickets available here
