This event is part of our Speaking of Humanism series held January 18, 6:30-8:00 pm ET on Zoom (http://americanhumanist.org/SpeakingOfHumanism) and Facebook Live (facebook.com/americanhumanist/live), and recorded to share on our website.

Humanist readers often read nonfiction—be it the hard science or social science or philosophy. But what about fiction? From atheist and humanist representation in fiction to what the term “humanist fiction” could possibly mean, this Speaking of Humanism session will explore the importance of fiction in the humanist community and why humanists should read fiction.
