Malala’s New Book is Coming Soon
The 22-year-old author is now sharing her reading list with the help of an Austin-based literary startup Literati. The platform is set to launch in October.
Besides hosting Malala Yousafzai’s book club, Literati will be stacked with collections curated by five notable people including Malala, The Orchid Thief author Susan Orlean, late American mythologist/writer Joseph Campbell, National Basketball Association (NBA) MVP Stephen Curry, and Virgin magnate Sir Richard Branson.
Each book club has a theme and it’s own title. Malala Yousafzai’s book club is titled ‘Fearless’. She told Forbes;
“It’s not that you don’t have fear because it’s part of our human life that there are lots of difficulties in our way, there are many obstacles.”

Like any book club, they read the book and discuss it over the course of a month. Members also get limited release access to Literati’s iOS app, a social platform for book discussions.
The app is currently being beta tested. Bibliophiles far and wide can join the club or any other club of their choice on Literati. Even non-book aficionados just there to learn can join too.
