NOMA Book Club to discuss The Lost City of Z by David Grann
Join NOMA staff and fellow book lovers as we read and discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art, artists, art museums, NOMA's collections and exhibitions. See the 2018 schedule and reading list here.
NOTE: The Book Club will meet in NOMA's board room on the second floor during September sessions due to construction near the museum's ground-floor library.
The selection for September is The Lost City of Z by David Grann. The book examines British explorer Percy Fawcett's ill-fated 1925 expedition into the Amazon and the legends that have persisted over his disappearance in the decades that followed.
Book Club members may join in a group discussion about the book on either Wednesday, September 12, from 2 - 3 pm, or Friday, September 14, from 12 - 1 pm.
Please contact NOMA Librarian Sheila Cork to reserve space for future sessions of the NOMA Book Club at scork@noma.org or 504.658.4117.
