Join us as NHM launches our Virtual Book Club facilitated by our Resident Scholar Dr. Katherine Kelaidis. Each month the NHM Book Club will choose a book that is either inspired by the Hellenic legacy or by a Greek American author (and sometimes both!). Then we will gather to discuss the book on Zoom!
Our first book will be Omeros, by the Nobel Prize winning writer Derrick Walcott. This modern epic poem adapts Homer's Odyssey and Iliad to tell the story of Walcott's native St. Lucia and the writer's own life, in a sweeping narrative that jumps St. Lucia to Brookline, Massachusetts, to the great capitals of Europe.
Book Club will be held on the third Thursday of each month. More information to come!
Our First Three Books:
Thursday, July 17th - Omeros by Derrick Walcott
Thursday, August 20th -
Let Me Explain You by Annie Liontas
Thursday, September 17th - Circe by Madeline Miller
