A BOOK CLUB FEATURING FICTION SET IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWESTThis book club will be held in person and capped at 15 participants. Face masks are optional for fully vaccinated individuals. Please register at the link in the event details to secure your spot.
This meeting of the South/West Book Club will feature C. Pam Zhang's Booker Prize-nominated novel HOW MUCH OF THESE HILLS IS GOLD.
Newly orphaned children of immigrants, Lucy and Sam are suddenly alone in a land that refutes their existence. Fleeing the threats of their western mining town, they set off to bury their father in the only way that will set them free from their past. Both epic and intimate, blending Chinese symbolism and reimagined history with fiercely original language and storytelling, HOW MUCH OF THESE HILLS IS GOLD is a haunting adventure story, an unforgettable sibling story, and the announcement of a stunning new voice in literature. On a broad level, it explores race in an expanding country and the question of where immigrants are allowed to belong. But page by page, it’s about the memories that bind and divide families, and the yearning for home.
Attendees are expected to have read the book in advance.
