KPR Presents Book Club

Love to read? We do too! That's why we're inviting you to join the KPR Presents Book Club. It's a chance to celebrate and talk about books: fiction and non-fiction, Kansas and non-Kansas authors, best-sellers and books that flew under the radar. We'll meet every 2-3 months to talk to book lovers and authors about that month's book, its characters, plot, and themes, as well as your questions and comments. You're also invited to join the official KPR Presents Book Club Facebook group!

Ready to jump into the next book in the KPR Presents Book Club series? Join us in reading Sitting Pretty: The View from my Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body by Rebekah Taussig. Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story.

You can register for the event HERE. The event will take place on July 29, via Zoom and will feature a discussion with Taussig and our very own Kaye McIntyre. When you sign up, you should receive an email with the Zoom link for the event. If you don't see the email in your inbox, check your spam folder, or email Christy Imel at christyimel@ku.edu.

You can buy the book online at Raven Book Store or check it out at your local public library.

Join the discussion ahead of time by joining the KPR Presents Book Club Facebook page. Meet fellow readers and enjoy discussing new novels together.
