The Rumpus Book Club

About

The Rumpus Book Club is a subscription-based program that offers readers early access to unreleased books. Members receive a new book every month, often weeks before its official release. This unique opportunity allows readers to stay ahead of the literary curve, exploring works by both established and emerging authors. The club is part of The Rumpus, an online literary magazine known for its curated content focusing on culture and creative writing. The club's highlights include exclusive online discussions with authors, providing a deep dive into the creative process and themes behind the selected books. These moderated chats allow members to engage directly with writers, fostering a sense of community among readers. The Rumpus Book Club is ideal for those passionate about discovering new literature and participating in lively literary conversations. While the club offers a rich experience, it has faced challenges, such as low subscription numbers for its poetry segment, leading to its eventual discontinuation.
