The Life and Times of Literary Circles is an exciting new four-part lecture series by Lauren Radick that explores the vibrant histories and cultural impacts of four legendary literary groups.

First, step into the post-World War I world of The Lost Generation and join literary giants like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein as they search for meaning amidst the chaos of the 1920s.

Then let the rebellious spirit and spiritual quests of The Beat Generation sweep you away, featuring iconic figures such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, who defied conventions and charted new creative territories.

Next, experience the eclectic mix of artists, writers, and musicians at The Factory, Andy Warhol's iconic 1960s studio, where creative luminaries like Truman Capote, Bob Dylan, and Lou Reed converged to shape contemporary art and culture.

Finally, hear the modern tunes and insightful stories of The Rock Bottom Remainders, a one-of-a-kind rock band made up of best-selling authors, including Stephen King, Amy Tan, James McBride, and Dave Barry, who fused their literary brilliance with a love for rock and roll.

Join Lauren at the Brockway Library in Miami Shores for an unforgettable journey through the lives and times of these literary legends!
