July 2025 book club
In July we will be reading: “Bone Horn” by Prudence Bussey-Chamberlain.
A newly licensed Private Investigator, grieving her partner’s death and desperate for work, takes on a bizarre case: to track down the legendary horn of Alice B. Toklas. From London to Paris to San Francisco, the search pulls her into a surreal literary underworld, tangled with grief, queerness, and absurd academia.
Bone Horn is a sharp, sexy, and poignant detective novel that reimagines the lone wolf PI while playfully unraveling the myths we build around love, loss, and who gets to tell the story.
