If you love literary supperclubs, make sure you make it to this one. There’s sure to be chocolates galore, though I’m sure there’ll be other surprises too.

The founders of the Novel Diner are Claire Coutinho, an intellectual events organiser, and Mina Holland, a arts and food writer. They have run several literary supperclubs already in London, from Proust’s In Search of Lost Time (or Remembrance of Things Past) to Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. I reviewed one earlier this year based on Donna Tartt’s The Secret History—a Greek tragedy set in an elite, modern-day liberal arts college in Vermont, New England—and would recommend their efforts. It’s bound to be a night well-spent in the company of book lovers and foodies alike.

Tickets are £35—book here. The supperclub is on Friday, 7 December at 7:15pm at the Tea House Theatre on 139 Vauxhall Walk, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, London SE11 5HL (see map).
