WE’VE GONE DIGITAL

Book clubs are still a thing around here. Get your tickets, email us your address, we’ll mail you your book, and then we’ll Zoom the night away. (Specific instructions follow after you’ve got your ticket.)

La ilusion de los mamiferos is Julian Lopez’s aching story of two part-time lovers in Buenos Aires.

HOW IT WORKS:

All book clubs require a ticket, and include the book and a dedicated moderator.

You can get your ticket thru this link (and we’ll ship* the book to you!).

*Please send a mailing address to larkin.lastbookstore@gmail.com — Do not try to pick up the book in person.
