Welcome to the Los Angeles Times Book Club
Every month, we share book club selections, publish author interviews and stories and invite you to read along. Then we host a live conversation with the authors and invite you to join that, too. Our focus is on stories and storytellers relevant to Southern California and the West, and our mission is to make your newspaper something not just to read but to experience — something that brings us together.
