What this is

Small, in-person reading groups focused on a single book, meeting weekly over 4โ€“8 weeks.

These groups grow out of my background in Comparative Literature at Columbia, and are shaped by the close, discussion-based seminar model.

Since 2024, Close Reading NYC has brought together 130+ readers across eight multi-week reading cohorts, with many participants returning for multiple groups over time.

Who itโ€™s for

For people who are interested in literature and want structure, focus, and thoughtful conversation without homework, grades, or academic jargon.

What to expect

No prior background in literature is required, just a willingness to read attentively and engage with curiosity.

If this approach resonates, you can explore the current groups and offerings below.
