By selecting a fiction book this year, after 10 years of non-fiction titles, the UCSB Reads Selection Advisory Committee —made up of faculty, staff, students and community partners — recognized that fiction has a unique capacity to awaken our understanding and enhances our ability to explore complex ideas.

UCSB Reads is supported by many campus and community sponsors,  for a full list see: library.ucsb.edu/ucsbreads2017
