Books & Islands
Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country: Traveling Through the Land of My Ancestors by
Louise Erdrich. Erdrich takes us on an illuminating tour through the terrain her ancestors have inhabited for centuries: the lakes and islands of southern Ontario. Summoning to life the Ojibwe's sacred spirits and songs, their language and sorrows, she considers the many ways in which her tribe whose name derives from the word ozhibii'ige, "to write" have influenced her. Her journey links ancient stone paintings with a magical island where a bookish recluse built an extraordinary library, and she reveals how both have transformed her. Join us to discuss this travel memoir by National Book Award winner Louise Erdrich on

Devil in the White City
 
Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson.  The story of two men's obsessions with the Chicago World's Fair, one its architect, the other a murderer. "The Devil in the White City" draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. Join us to discuss this best-seller that combines meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling  on
Tuesday, December 27th at 6pm.
