Join us for our next NYR Seminar!
| NYRSeminars presents:
“The Political Novel” with Edwin Frank,
Editor of New York Review Books  We live in a political world, per Bob Dylan, and the song suggests that is not such a good thing. The modern novel grew up alongside the modern political world, and has kept a fascinated and incredulous eye on it for the last few centuries. In this seminar, Edwin Frank, Editor of New York Review Books and the author of Stranger than Fiction: The Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel, will look at four novelists—Anthony Trollope, Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, and Ursula K. Le Guin—and their different visions of politics. Seminars, to be conducted online, will meet weekly. We are offering memberships at two levels: Full Members will have the opportunity to discuss the work with Edwin Frank during the live sessions, while Auditors will be able to listen in on the discussion. Both membership levels will have access to our online Canvas platform, which features supplemental materials and discussion boards, as well as recordings of all sessions. The first seminar series on Anthony Trollope will consist of four weekly sessions beginning Monday, September 8, 2025. For a limited time, we are offering a $10 discount for each of Edwin Frank’s first series of NYRSeminars. Discount ends Sunday, August 17!
