Algonquin Book Club

03/22/2011 by Staff

Algonquin Book Club used Vivo to broadcast Julia Alvarez discussing her acclaimed novel, In the Time of Butterflies, with Edwidge Danticat. The event quickly sold out all 150 tickets, so it made sense to broadcast to a larger audience online. Through the live chat feature fans got the chance to ask Alverez questions about the books, who some of her favorite authors were, and find out about her upcoming projects.

Viewers of the broadcast also had the chance to purchase Alverez's book and get it signed by her right then through the Buy it Now option featured on the website.
