November Book: The Night Watchman
Protagonist Books & Coffee, 8 W Main St, Dryden, NY 13053, USA, Dryden, NY, USHello everyone - we are looking forward to the next bookclub meeting!
This month, we will be reading The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich. Yes, this is a fictional book for a non-fiction bookclub... but it came up in discussion at the last meeting and we were all excited to read it, so come join us for something a little different! To keep the non-fiction theme, there is an optional bonus non-fiction reading linked below. The book itself parallels the life of the author's grandfather, while the non-fiction reading is a longer form journal article that discusses a few personal stories and the broader historical context. Both discuss the 1950s and 60s Termination Era and Native American relocation programs.
