Dormice & Moonshine is the true story of an Englishman seduced by Slovenia. In the wake of a breakup, he seeks temporary refuge in his hinterland house but what was meant as a pitstop becomes life-changing when he decides to stay. Along the way, he meets a colourful cross-section of Slovene society: from dormouse hunters, moonshine makers, beekeepers, and bitcoinminers, to a man who swam the Amazon, and a hilltop matriarch who teaches him the meaning of being priden.
The SUA online book club brings members across the country together and there are several regulars! We meet quarterly to read and discuss books to help us better understand our Slovenian heritage as it pertains to the main Slovenian immigration periods to the U.S. and elsewhere. We also read books that explain what was happening in the homeland or nearby countries in these same time periods. Please read the article “SUA Zoom Book Club” to see the first six books we read (we started in the fall of 2021): Click here to see full article.
Members, email [email protected] for more details and the link to register for quarterly SUA Book Club Zoom meetings.
Email [email protected] to get on the book club list. If you would like to lead a separate book group, please send your proposal to [email protected] and it will get forwarded to the SUA Board for review. An additional book group(s) could meet a few times a year or a limited series could be organized around a specific time period, a specific topic or a selection of books by a specific author.
