Our February book is “Cahokia Jazz, A Novel” by Francis Spufford. A “smoky, brooding noir set in the 1920s” (Slate) that reimagines how American history would be different if, instead of being decimated, indigenous populations had thrived. Cheryl Olin will lead.
In March, we will be reading “James: A Novel” by Percival Everette. The book reimagines the escape of “Jim” in Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn” as told from the perspective of the enslaved man’s point of view. “Brilliant,harrowing, action-packed, and darkly humorous.” Brenda Harris will lead.
