Short Story Book Club |

November’s short story book club pick is Night of the Living Rez (2022) by Morgan Talty. In 12 linked stories, all narrated by a character named David, Talty’s debut collection provides an unsparing perspective on the harsh reality of life in the Panawahpskek (Penobscot) Nation of Maine. Ranging from grim to tender, these stories reveal the hardships facing a young Native American in contemporary America. This collection has won awards that are too numerous to list, and was named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, NPR, Esquire, Oprah Daily, and more.

The short story book club is perfect for busy people, especially at this time of the year. There’s no need to attend a meeting or make snacks for anyone other than yourself. Stop in for a copy of the book and enjoy reading the chapter(s) you have time for. When you return the book, shareyour impressions and recommendations or December in a notebook at the desk if you choose.We would love to hear what you think!
