Jon Michaud When Tito Loved Clara - Led Black Book Club

The inaugural Led Black Book Club event featuring Jon Michaud at Apt 78 was a rousing success. On a dreary Saturday afternoon, we had an incredible turnout to discuss literature in Washington Heights. If that is not evidence of the seismic shift taking place Uptown, I don’t know what is.

I started this book club to share the books that I was reading and that I felt were important with my community. I am a lover and a champion of books. I am a firm believer that books can change your life. For me, books are magical, oftentimes; the books you need to read at a particular point in your life just seem to materialize.

Since I was kid, growing up right up the hill from where the event was held, books were a way for me to expand my horizons. So even though we were of limited means, books gave me access to a whole word of information and insights. My library card was my passport. So for me, having a successful first event of this magnitude is especially sweet. I want to thank Jon Michaud for being so gracious with his time and for sharing so selflessly with us. I could not have picked a better novel or a better author for our first function. I want to also thank the always accommodating Jose Morales for allowing us to use the magnificent Apt 78 for our event. Lastly, I want to thank everyone that came out to support our inaugural meeting. Thank you for taking part in the vital, candid and lively discussion of this wonderful novel.

    Great article. Such eloquence and truth about the power of books and imagination! Although I was not able to attend this first event, I very much want to be part of your book club. Let me know when and what the next meeting/next book is. 🙂 Thanks!
