One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

This is sure to challenge our assumptions and push us out of our comfort zone as we assess America's role in the world through the eyes of this award-winning novelist and journalist.

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.
