LeVar Burton Launches Book Club on Fable

May 12, 2021

Fable, the social reading online book club, launched a new book club with celebrity LeVar Burton. The actor, author, and host of Reading Rainbow will select three new books to highlight and one book each to read together. Burton chose James Baldwin's Go Tell It On the Mountain as the first book for the club to read together. His other two recommendations were Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower and Jesmyn Ward's The Fire This Time.

"I selected books that have had a tremendous impact on my life," Burton said. "At a time when Black people had very little representation in the publishing industry, Baldwin delivered a debut novel that introduced to the world an essential voice in American Literature. I invite everyone to join me on FABLE as I am both inspired and energized by the opportunity to not only re-read this story but also share my point of view and hear everyone else's as we read together."
