Join the National Hellenic Museum’s Online Book Club!
Facilitated by NHM's Resident Scholar Dr. Katherine Kelaidis, each month the NHM Online Book Club chooses a book that is either inspired by the Hellenic legacy or by a Greek American author (and sometimes both!). Then we gather to discuss the book on Zoom.
Book Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM CST
In September, we will be discussing Oriana by Anastasia Rubis
More about Oriana:
Come discuss this fascinating new novel by Greek American writer, Anastasia Rubis. When a Hollywood producer approaches Oriana Fallaci to propose a movie, the story of her remarkable career as a journalist, her tragic love, and her deepest regret unfolds. Oriana, a born rebel, fought in Italy’s Resistance at fourteen, overcoming poverty and sexism. By 1973, Newsweek hailed her as the greatest interviewer, known for bold interviews with leaders like Kissinger and Gandhi. That year, she broke journalistic rules by falling in love with Alexander Panagoulis, a Greek poet and hero. Oriana's life reflects the struggle of balancing a trailblazing career and personal happiness. This biographical novel portrays Oriana as a fearless journalist who revolutionized her field and inspired future generations, including Christiane Amanpour.
