South Street Seaport Museum's monthly Seaport Museum Book Club will continue on Monday, January 27, at 6:30pm, at McNally Jackson Seaport, located at 4 Fulton Street. Seaport Museum staff and special guests will stir up lively discussions informed by their shared love of literature, history, and preservation. You don't have to read the full selection to enjoy the event; everyone is welcome!

The January session of the Seaport Museum Book Club takes us back to the classics, with Ernest Hemingway's 1952 novel, The Old Man and the Sea.

This timeless novella tells the epic story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman, and his relentless, multi-day battle to reel in a massive marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Renowned for its contemporary style and exploration of classic themes like courage, resilience, and personal triumph in the face of loss, The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most celebrated works. Written in 1952, it cemented Hemingway's literary legacy and played a significant role in his 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Join us for a deep dive into this captivating novel and a lively discussion with fellow book lovers.
