April Book Discussion

April's book discussion selection is The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. The Sentence asks what we owe to the living, to the dead, to the reader, and to the book. A small, independent book store in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading "with murderous attention," must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation, and furious reckoning. We will be discussing this novel twice in the month of April: Wednesday, April 24 at 1:30 pm & Monday, April 27 at 5:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.
