"The Best Novels You Haven't Read"
Book Club of California

Novels have captured readers' imaginations for hundreds of years. But what is it about this literary form that keeps people coming back for more? Scholars from UC Berkeley and Stanford come together to discuss the evolution of the novel—and to uncover some novelistic gems that have been overlooked by the reading public.

Panelists: Nancy Ruttenberg (Center for the Study of the Novel, Stanford University), Ramón Saldívar (English and Comparative Literature, Stanford University), Kent Puckett, (English, UC Berkeley), and Namwali Serpell (English, UC Berkeley)

Free and open to the public. Co-presented with the Stanford Humanities Center.
