Dartmouth Book Club: “The Latecomer”
Join us on Monday, September 23 at 12:00 p.m. ET for our next Dartmouth Book Club virtual event featuring The Latecomer. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Plot, The Latecomer tells the story of the privileged Oppenheimer triplets on the verge of heading to college when they are faced with an unexpected new addition to the family. The Latecomer is a tender and witty family story from an alumnae author known for the depth of her character studies and her love of a plot twist.
The event includes a discussion with book author Jean Hanff Korelitz ’83, in conversation with Alexander Chee, Professor of Creative Writing and English at Dartmouth, followed by moderated breakout discussion groups with fellow participants.
