About this Event
Welcome to our classics book club—a friendly and inclusive space where readers of all backgrounds come together to explore and celebrate classic fiction by Black authors.
Whether you're a book club veteran or joining for the first time, you'll find a warm community here. Each month, we dive into novels by authors who shaped the writing world today. Expect to read James Baldwin, Sam Selvon, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison and many more. Our discussions are relaxed, engaging, and open to everyone—there's no pressure, just a shared love of great fiction and re-defining what makes a classic novel.
Come join us, and let's enjoy these incredible stories together!
