Event Details
Come to the North Park Library for this month's book club meeting! The club also hosts the meeting virtually over Zoom. Please contact a staff member at the library if you're interested in participating virtually.
This month, the club will be discussing "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie. Pick up a copy of the book at the circulation desk.
Synopsis: Bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot.
Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by Ellen Forney that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.
