There’s been a lot of news about “fake news” recently, for lack of a better term. In May, HYP Book Club will get to the bottom of it with “Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News” by Kevin Young. It’s at once a review of the history of American hoaxes and a discussion on the nature of them and a bunch of other entertaining stuff.
We meet in the back room (behind the children’s section) of the Midtown Scholar.
Please RSVP and/or send questions to Joe Foner at joefoner1@gmail.com. See you there, and happy reading!
