Reading out of “decadence”: How Amigos y Libros builds community through Spanish literature

In Salt Lake City, a small group of readers gather regularly to discuss novels written thousands of miles away. Their books come from Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Chile, and beyond. And the books all share a common trait — they’re written in Spanish. In this special book club, some members grew up speaking Spanish; others learned it later in life. Some arrive having finished every page, others come simply to listen. But everyone is welcome.
