On Wed., April 21, the Los Angeles Times will present a special edition of its community book club with former President Barack Obama in conversation with filmmaker Ava DuVernay. Booksellers: Copies of “A Promised Land” are available for purchase at these local booksellers: Book Soup; Chevalier’s; Diesel, A Bookstore; Eso Won Books; {Pages: a bookstore}; Skylight Books; Small World Books; and Vroman’s Bookstore. The book club began in 2019 to build on the annual Festival of Books and keep the storytelling and conversations going year-round. Since the pandemic, The Times pivoted to virtual events that have allowed guest authors and more readers than ever to connect from home. Sign up for the book club newsletter for the latest events and news.
