Hosted by a rotating cast of character.
One of the main features of imperial oppression is control over language. It tends to marginalize or erase anything outside of the standardized system it installed. Language is a culture keeper and a road opener. This book club, in the acknowledgment of that fact, is a post-colonial-futuristic-literary discussion portal to activate our imagination to “reworld” the world.
October's pick is Wild Horse Shit by Adam Gnade. Hosted by Laia. You can find the book here. Seats are limited.
ABOUT THE BOOK
How do you continue to live your life while the world around you falls apart? Existing as a fellow traveler with Joan Didion’s White Album, Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin, and the USA Trilogy of Dos Passos, Adam Gnade’s latest work of autofiction documents the summer of 2024 as a time of rising fascism, genocide shown on phone screens, and escalating tension among a divided population. Adventurous, hopeful, and big-hearted, Wild Horse Shit is a prompt toward living truer to the animal within you while your ragged homeland sways on the verge of collapse.
Book Club to Remake the World meets every 2nd Wednesday of each month, EXCEPT December, we'll be taking a break for the month.
