Barnes & Noble has chosen Real Americans by Rachel Khong (Knopf) as its May national book club pick. In a live virtual event, on Tuesday, June 4, at 3 p.m. Eastern, Khong will be in conversation with Lexie Smyth, category manager for fiction at B&N, and Miwa Messer, executive producer of Poured Over, the B&N podcast.
Smyth commented: "Real Americans is a sweeping narrative spanning three generations of a family across multiple continents. This is a book that asks big questions: what makes us who we are? Is it predetermined, or can it be changed? If you could give your child an advantage, would you? I know that Real Americans will inspire many rich discussions among our Book Club readers. I have been waiting to get this into their hands, and I couldn't be more excited that the time is here."
