Reader Thomas Fellers ★ Building community through social infrastructure (Episode 3.3‪)‬ Book City ★ Roanoke

    • Books

Roanoke resident Thomas Fellers offers two books for a conversation on social infrastructure as we continue an exploration of Alone / Together: What draws us into community and sets us apart. 

Books discussed in this third episode of the season are Chang-rae Lee's On Such a Full Sea (Riverhead Books, 2014) and Palaces for the People by Eric Klinenberg (Broadway Books, 2018).  On investing in a strong locality, Fellers says, "Everyone who's a part of it has a seat at the table and feels there's going to be enough." That, he says is what social infrastructure can help do.
