James
Percival Everett
In June, our book group turns to a work of award-winning fiction. We will discuss "James," by Percival Everett, which won the 2024 National Book Award for Fiction.
Brimming with nuanced humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a literary icon, this brilliant and tender novel radically illuminates Jim's agency, intelligence, and compassion as never before. James is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first-century American literature.
Join us for a discussion on Zoom. Newcomers are always welcome.

Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring
Alexander Rose
In July, our book group will mark America 250 with a book about the American Revolution.
Our selection is "Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring," by Alexander Rose. Basing his tale on remarkable original research, historian Alexander Rose reveals the unforgettable story of the spy ring that helped America win the Revolutionary War. For the first time, Rose takes us beyond the battlefront and into the shadowy underworld of double agents and triple crosses, covert operations and code breaking, and unmasks the courageous, flawed individuals who inhabited this wilderness of mirrors—including the spymaster at the heart of it all, George Washington.
