BOOK OF THE MONTH

Join the ranks of the West Bank Literati and pick up a copy of our Book of the Month! Every month we'll choose an incredible read in hopes of educating the community and celebrating the art of reading! This month we're reading: BILLIONAIRE WILDERNESS by Justin Farrell We are thrilled about the release of Justin Farrell's incredibly well-researched and comprehensive study on income inequality in Teton County. Having spent five years in the valley interviewing 205 individuals, Farrell peeks behind the curtain of the lifestyles of Jackson Hole's wealthiest residents. Diving into philanthropic politics, immigrant workers and the ultimate battle in claiming the West, Farrell's book is an incredibly fascinating (occasionally scandalous) portrayal of a town on the brink and the local relationships between the working class and the one-percent.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

SUSIE TEMPLE Owner THIS IS 18 by Jessica Bennett Featuring and photographed by young women, This Is 18 is an immersive look at what it means to be on the cusp of adulthood around the world and across cultures. Twenty-two empowering and uniquely personal profiles, expanded from the New York Times interactive feature and curated by Gender Editor Jessica Bennett, with Sandra Stevenson, Anya Strzemien, and Sharon Attia, give teen readers a rare glimpse at the realities and interests of their contemporaries.

ANDREW MUNZ Bookseller  THE MERCIES by Kiran Millwood Hargrave " The novel delights not with surprise, but by pursuing its course of action with precision and purpose. Hargrave spares the reader no gory details, whether of birth, miscarriage or the scent of a body burning at the stake. The Mercies is among the best novels I’ve read in years. In addition to its beautiful writing, its subject matter is both enduring and timely." - Emily Barton, The New York Times Book Review
