Winfrey picks Nathan Hill's novel 'Wellness' for book club

For her latest book club pick, Oprah Winfrey broke the news to author Nathan Hill in modern style. She arranged with his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, to pop up during a Zoom meeting and tell him that she had chosen his novel “Wellness.” It's a humorous narrative about an embattled long-term marriage. “Wellness,” published this week, is Hill’s first book since his acclaimed debut from 2016, “The Nix.” “The Nix” was the story of a man’s search for his long-lost mother, and it received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for best first novel.
