Join Miami Literary Society for a remarkable season
In case you missed our recent season announcement, I wanted to share a recap of what we have in store.
This season, we’re inviting you to join us for remarkable books and engaging conversations, all while sharing lunch in good company. We’d love for you to become a Miami Literary Society Member for a season of discovery. We hope you’ll be part of it!
Cristina Nosti and Mitchell Kaplan of Books & Books have once again curated an exciting season of international literary giants centered around the year's most anticipated books.
Our upcoming lineup features brand-new masterworks and highly anticipated releases that promise to challenge our perspectives, shatter genre boundaries, and take us on unforgettable emotional journeys. From sweeping historical epics to tense survival thrillers, this lineup is designed to expand our literary horizons.
Our 2026-27 season (so far):
October 14, Music Against the Night by Yiyun Li Yiyun Li follows her 2026 Pulitzer Priz-winning memoir with this magisterial, polyphonic novel spanning 70 years in the intertwining lives of two aspiring musicians navigating the artistic and political upheavals of late 18th-century Europe and India.
November 5 , The Radiance by Ayad Akhtar This daring and visionary philosophical novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright follows a writer plunged into a profound spiritual awakening—and an intense academic scandal—following a near-death country road accident.
January 11, In One Brief Moment All Eternity by Elif Shafak A breathtaking, inventive reimagining of Gustave Flaubert's life, this sweeping story flips the lens to give voice to the silenced real and fictional women who shaped him, spanning 19th-century France, Istanbul, Egypt, and Beirut.
February (Date TBD), Worship by Alice Winn A wickedly funny, endlessly surprising new novel that cracks open Arthurian legend. The fates of an Irish princess giifted with medicinal powers and a formidable new knight become dangerously and hilariously entangled during a civil war in Camelot.
March 4, Dead Herzls by Joshua Cohen Pullitzer Prize winning author Joshua Cohen delivers a brilliant, dark family tragedy tracing the chaotic international lives of the descendants of Theodor Herzl, exploring how the deeply personal and familial intersects with the political.
April 13, The Far Blue by Peter Heller A gripping, high-stakes story of physical and emotional survival. A husband chooses to stay behind to storm-proof his coastal Maine cottage, only to be cast out into a ferocious, open ocean amid looters and chaos.
Plus one or two more author luncheons to be announced.
And a bit of housekeeping - Miami Literary Society has a new address:
