What we’re about
Attention authors: someone is pretending to be the organizer of this group and contacting authors by email to offer some kind of collaboration. They are trying to steal money from you. We do not do any kind of collaboration with authors.
We are a book club meeting in Williamsburg and Greenpoint with a mix of longtime members and brand new folks each month. You are warmly invited to join us.
Our books are decided by monthly vote, and can be of any genre. After the reading on our own, we'll get together on the second Wednesday of the month at a local Williamsburg bar to discuss. The discussion is causal and unpretentious and you are welcome to participate to whatever extent you like.

There There by Tommy Orange
Kent Ale House, 51 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY, USFor February we're reading There There by Tommy Orange (294 pgs). Hope to see you then!
About the book:
Tommy Orange's wondrous and shattering novel follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize. Among them is Jacquie Red Feather, newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind. Dene Oxendene, pulling his life together after his uncle's death and working at the powwow to honor his memory. Fourteen-year-old Orvil, coming to perform traditional dance for the very first time. Together, this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American--grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion and sacrifice and heroism. Hailed as an instant classic, There There is at once poignant and unflinching, utterly contemporary and truly unforgettable.
Because Meetup charges organizers like me $389.76 annually, there is a $1 suggested donation. If you'd like to contribute, you can do so at the meetup or by venmo (I'll post the info afterwards).18 attendees
