Description
On May 5, HarperCollins released their American Classics series: Books That Define a Nation to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary. Included in the 35 titles are traditional works such as Moby Dick and The Scarlett Letter. In addition, what many voracious readers would consider modern-day classics are included as well such as The Poisonwood Bible, The Hate U Give, and Tales of the City. Please join us as we welcome representatives from HarperCollins in conversation with readers who will discuss what makes a book a classic and how HC was able to whittle a massive 200+ year publishing list down to 35 amazing titles. Come spend an evening with neighbors and the folks at HarperCollins and share your love of American literature throughout the ages.
