We’ll have many more great pairings in 2012, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, please join us for our first Algonquin Book Club selection: In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez. We’ll be hosting the live webcast of Edwidge Danticat interviewing Julia Alvarez on March 21, 7:00pm, at the amazing Books & Books in Miami. In the weeks leading up to the live event, you can join the conversation with others via Facebook, Twitter, and our blog. To sweeten the pot, each week we’ll be giving away Algonquin Book Club tote bags, Advance Review Copies, new books hot off the press, and other swag.
