Dorothy Long will host the next book club meeting on Friday, October 5th, at 7:00 PM. We will be starting the series of books chosen for the PBS/New York Times Book Club: “Now Read This.” The first book will be their January 2018 selection, Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward.
…When the children’s father is released from prison, Leonie packs her kids and a friend into her car and drives north to the heart of Mississippi and Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary. At Parchman, there is another thirteen-year-old boy, the ghost of a dead inmate who carries all of the ugly history of the South with him in his wandering. He too has something to teach Jojo about fathers and sons, about legacies, about violence, about love. Rich with Ward’s distinctive, lyrical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing is a majestic and unforgettable family story and “an odyssey through rural Mississippi’s past and present.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
