For our May meeting, we will be reading Ta-Nehisi Coates’ The Message:

Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic “Politics and the English Language,” but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking—expose and distort our realities.

This year, Book Club will meet in-person in Vancouver six times over the year to build community and shared learning.
