Beyond the Book is presented by Literary Affairs a literary lifestyle company that has been promoting great literature and fostering a community of book lovers for two decades. Beyond the Book offers book club style salons with best-selling and literary debut authors, literary talks on classic novels, professionally facilitated book groups, panel discussions and cultural conversations related to current books. Each audio or video episode is curated by Literary Affairs founder and leader Julie Robinson to inspire thoughtful conversations and continue our mission of bringing together readers and writers. We know that we are not alone in feeling that reading books enriches our lives, deepens our humanity and helps us better understand and have compassion for the world we live in. With Beyond the Book podcasts you don’t just have to read a book you can experience it along with us.
