Summer School: Baldwin's 'Another Country' with Rich Blint

As our Get Lit book club takes the summer off, we are excited to launch our 2023 summer series, Summer School, in which we invite you to join us in dusting off the book shelf, checking out at the Library, and revisiting a classic novel for some fun summer reading. This summer, we are reading two New York-centric books, starting with James Baldwin's 1962 novel, Another Country. The book is set in the heat of summer in 1950s Manhattan, particularly in Harlem and the West Village, and explores ideas of race, class, and art. Rich Blint, professor of Literary Studies and Director of the Program in Race and Ethnicity at The New School, and a Baldwin biographer, joins us for our first installment of Summer School.
