Community Read

What would happen if everyone in our community read the same book and then had the opportunity to meet its author?

The Frye Festival's Community Read series presents bilingual authors whose books are available in translation. The aim is to encourage dialogue between the linguistic communities by rallying them around one author and one book. The series launched in 2007 with the visit of Yann Martel and was repeated in 2008 with Kathy Reichs, in 2009 with Neil Smith and Rawi Hage, in 2010 with Daniel Poliquin and Adam Gopnik, and in 2011 with Lawrence Hill.
