“Transformative. I adore these book clubs. Christopher’s passion and insight have left me near-delirious with an excitement and optimism I’ve carried into all my reading and writing.”

Book clubs in search of the meaning of life.
In the Moby Dick club we found aliveness and humor in a book that predicted the future.
In the Beloved club, we talked about motherhood and power.
In the To the Lighthouse club, we we watched Woolf bring the dead back to life.
In the Giovanni’s Room club, we considered James Baldwin’s second novel as a critique of oblivious and self-absorbed whiteness.
