About

Join the Auburn Avenue Literary Society, a bi-monthly book club dedicated to celebrating and exploring the richness of African American literature—bridging the classics that shaped our past with contemporary works redefining our present. Our December gathering will feature a discussion of Harlem Rhapsody by Victoria Christopher Murray, a sweeping historical novel set during the height of the Harlem Renaissance. The story centers on Jessie Redmon Fauset, the brilliant literary editor of The Crisis magazine, as she navigates ambition, artistry, and a complex romance with W.E.B. Du Bois. Come ready to dive deep into conversation, share your reflections, and connect with fellow readers in an atmosphere that honors history, imagination, and community. Light refreshments will be provided. Discover. Discuss. Celebrate the words that shape our world. Auburn Avenue Research Library hosts this free Fulton County Library event in Atlanta, with 6:30 PM-7:45 PM, room or area: Authors' & Writers' Lounge. Expect a library-led reading, book, or discussion format rather than a ticketed performance. The library event page is the source for current capacity and access notes.
