The LARB Book Club

The LARB Book Club is one of the Los Angeles Review of Books’s signature membership perks where we discuss the seasonal selection directly with the author on our podcast and have an online discussion with members. Past book clubs have featured a range of authors and books, from Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer, Helen Oyeyemi's Boy, Snow, Bird, and Gary Shteyngart’s Our Country Friends to Natalie Diaz’s Postcolonial Love PoemKink ed by R.O. Kwon and Garth Greenwell, George Saunders’s A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, Kate Evans’s graphic novel Threads: From the Refugee Crisis, and K-Ming Chang’s Gods of Want


LARB Friend-level members get a copy of the book along with the conversation, and LARB Supporter-level members are welcome to join the conversation and take advantage of discounts at participating bookstores around the country. Join today!
