Announcing: 2009-10 Online Book Groups

Though the Writers House has just 14 rooms, we think of our Online Book Groups as connecting our rooms to your rooms-- via 10-day "close reading" groups on singular short stories or pairs of poems and month-long discussions on longer works.

This is the 10th year of the program and in that time more than 1,500 alumni and Penn families have joined heady, thoughtful online discussions of stories, poems, novels and films led by Penn faculty and other Writers House-affiliated teachers and writers. Thanks to the continued support of Wharton alumnus and Penn parent, David Roberts, we are offering eight groups for the 2009-2010 academic year.
