The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and the BuzzFeed Book Club introduce all five nominated books and authors for One Book, One New York in a special evening of conversation at The New York Public Library. Hear what inspired the authors to write these celebrated titles, check-out the books and then cast your vote for the One Book we should read altogether.
