The 8th Principle Action Ministry (formerly the Antiracism Ministry Team) is offering an opportunity for an informal book discussion on Sunday, October 29 starting at 3:00 pm on Zoom.
The book is a collection of short stories entitled The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans. Leading the discussion will be Jackie Jablonski who will focus on the title story. Jackie is an avid reader who has accumulated a long list of titles about race in America through fictional or nonfiction-but-funny works.
From Penguin Random House — “With The Office of Historical Corrections, Evans zooms in on particular moments and relationships in her characters’ lives in a way that allows them to speak to larger issues of race, culture, and history. Ultimately, she provokes us to think about the truths of American history—about who gets to tell them, and the cost of setting the record straight.
And in the eye-opening title novella, a black scholar from Washington, DC, is drawn into a complex historical mystery that spans generations and puts her job, her love life, and her oldest friendship at risk.”
There is coarse language in the short story to be discussed.
Find the title as an e-book, audio book or at the Tompkins County Public Library where there are five copies or at your favorite independent book store.
