Despite the many jokes and stereotypes about New Jersey and its residents, the state is a wildly diverse place, home to a vast variety of landscapes, cultures  and people. There is no singular New Jersey experience, and the stories that its residents have to share about the state will surprise you.
 
"New Jersey Fan Club: Artists and Writers Celebrate the Garden State" from Rutgers University Press is an eclectic anthology featuring personal essays, interviews, and comics from a broad group of established and emerging writers and artists who have something to say about New Jersey. It offers a multifaceted look at the state’s history and significance, told through narrative nonfiction, photographs and illustrations.

"New Jersey Fan Club" is edited by Kerri Sullivan, founder of the popular Instagram account Jersey Collective (@jerseycollective), which features weekly takeovers by different New Jerseyans. This book functions the same way: it gives dozens of different contributors the chance to share what New Jersey looks like to them. The book is an exploration of how the same locale can shape people in different ways, and it will inspire readers to look at the Garden State with fresh eyes and appreciate its bounty of beautiful places and vibrant spaces.

Please Note: Doors will open at 10:30 am for coffee and pastries. Please enter the community room via the doors on Hinds Plaza.
