Registration begins on Tuesday, January 6
Fifty years ago, E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime emerged as a groundbreaking novel that intertwined fact and fiction to depict early 20th-century America. Addressing themes like immigration, racial animosity, and labor rights, the story remains relevant today. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Doctorow's daughter, singer-songwriter Caroline Doctorow, will host a multimedia event featuring family photographs and stories, readings, a discussion on writing, and a live performance of a song related to the book's Tony Award-winning Broadway adaptation.
