Dear Members of the Baruch Community:

Each year, a committee of faculty, students, and administrators selects a book for the entire Baruch community to read and discuss, both in our Freshman Seminar and in courses throughout the college. The selection for fall 2016 is the novel Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng.

We are pleased to offer you a copy of this novel, a compelling story of family, identity, and belonging with an element of intrigue.  To request a free copy, please complete the request form here by Friday, May 20.  Books will be delivered by Thursday, May 26.   

All entering freshman will be given a copy of the book at orientation this summer and asked to read it in its entirety in time for Convocation and the book discussion hour that follows. Author Celeste Ng will deliver the keynote address during Freshman Convocation on Wednesday, August 24. We especially encourage teaching faculty to include the book on their required reading lists for the fall semester.

The Library faculty and selection committee members will be developing a study guide for your reference.  We will share more information once it becomes available.

We hope that you enjoy reading Everything I Never Told You!

Best wishes,

 

The Freshman Text Selection Committee
