Apple News has named Oprah Winfrey its first-ever guest editor, in connection with her new book club selection, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Winfrey will curate a collection of articles related to the book. The pieces will be available to read on  Apple 's news aggregator later this month, the company said Tuesday.

"This might be the most important book I've ever chosen for my book club," Winfrey said in a release. "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents provides a new way of seeing racial inequality, giving rise to countless aha moments and helping us truly understand America as it is now and how we hope it will be."

The book, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author Isabel Wilkerson is now available on Apple Books in both ebook and audiobook formats for the  iPhone , iPad and Mac. You can also listen to audiobooks using the  Apple Watch and CarPlay .
