Chicago’s citywide group-read project, known as “One Book, One Chicago”, is four years old, and this fall, the city’s mayor has decided that it’s time for Chicagoans to expand their literary horizons across the Atlantic. The new selection is Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, and several academic and theatrical institutions around the city will be hosting events, lectures, and performances based on the book. As usual, Chicago booksellers and libraries were tipped off about the selection ahead of time, so as to be sure that plenty of copies will be available.
