The Evening Library is a new project from Studio Shtot! If you couldn't tell from the fact we publish a magazine, we love to read and we wanted the chance to discuss the things we read with others. We decided to start a book club, starting with David Szalay's new acclaimed novel Flesh.

The graphics for the event were inspired by the colors in the novel's cover, which feature rich reds, browns, and (appropriately) flesh tones.

If you happen to be in Toronto on June 11th, come and join us to discuss books over a glass of wine with like-minded readers. You can RSVP or just show up!
