There has been a read-along of Henry Green before, when Stu hosted Henry Green Week in 2011, and there has been a read-along of an nyrb classic before, when Dorian and Scott hosted Hill. So I am super excited to announce another read-along beginning this November of Henry Green’s newly published books by nyrb press. It is hosted by The Mookse and the Gripes and Proustitute over at Goodreads.
The Year of Reading Henry Green, as the read-along is called, consists of one Henry Green book a month beginning in November. (The first two of his book will be published by nyrb press on October 18; you can see them pictured above.) So, the schedule is as follows:
November: Back
December: Loving
January: Caught
February: Blindness
March: Living
April: Party Going
There are three more of Green’s books to go, and the months to read those are as yet to be determined. But, this is surely enough to pique your interest and get you started should you decide to join the read-along whose members include so far:
- The Mookse and the Gripes
- Proustitute
- nonsuch book
- 1st Reading
- Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau and me,
- Dolce Bellezza
Doesn’t it sound like fun?
