Kentucky Reads Book Discussion: Scissors, Paper, Rock

Join us for a community discussion of this year's Kentucky Reads selection, Scissors, Paper, Rock by Fenton Johnson.
Along with his siblings, Raphael Hardin left his childhood home in rural Kentucky. Grappling with an AIDS diagnosis, he returns to care for his dying father. Told from the perspectives of Raphael, his family, and their lifelong neighbor, Fenton Johnson's landmark novel reveals the blood struggles and binding loves of a broken family made whole.
The discussion will be led by award-winning Kentucky poet, editor, and educator, Marianne Worthington. Please register before stopping by the library to pick up a copy of the book and/or the discussion guide. Copies of the book will be available while supplies last.
This program was funded in part by Kentucky Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
