I have wanted to be in a book club for a long time, but cringe when my friends tell me their clubs are reading "Diaries of a Shoppaholic" and the like.

There are no upcoming Meetups.
The Oulipo is a Paris-based "workshop" of poets, writers, artists, and mathematicians, that formed in 1960 to explore "potential literature" (OUvroir de LIttérature POtentielle) and the relationship of formalism and literature. From such esoteric origins arose a rich and, frankly, awesome body of works, along with a whole catalog of "constraints," tools to use to make your own poetry and literature. Oulipo, SLC is for enthusiasts of the group that has included such illustrious members as Raymon …
