Bibliophiles can dive into the captivating world of E.L. Doctorow's semi-autobiographical novel at this engaging book club event. Beyond the Pages: World's Fair takes place on Friday, August 8 at The Wolfsonian–FIU.

This session features Doctorow's World's Fair: A Novel, which tells the story of a young boy growing up in 1930s New York against the backdrop of the iconic 1939 World's Fair. Chief librarian Frank Luca will facilitate the discussion, connecting themes from the novel to the Wolfsonian's holdings.
