SUMMARY:Woods Hole Public Library Social Justice Book Group
DESCRIPTION:The Woods Hole Public Library Social Justice Book Group will discuss Ocean Vuong’s Emperor of Gladness on Wednesday\, June 17\, at 7pm via Zoom. \nFrom the publisher: “One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness\, Connecticut\, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain\, ready to jump\, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina\, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia\, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options\, he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year\, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond\, one built on empathy\, spiritual reckoning\, and heartbreak\, with the power to transform Hai’s relationship to himself\, his family\, and a community on the brink. \nFollowing the cycles of history\, memory\, and time\, The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which love\, labor\, and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Ocean Vuong’s writing—formal innovation\, syntactic dexterity\, and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness—are on full display in this story of loss\, hope\, and how far we would go to possess one of life’s most fleeting mercies: a second chance.” \nAll are welcome to join in for this discussion. Please email whpl_mail@clamsnet.org to receive the Zoom link. Copies of the book are available at the Library to check out and to purchase at Eight Cousins Bookstore.

SUMMARY:International Book Group – Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor
DESCRIPTION:The International Book Group at West Falmouth Library is a volunteer-led group that meets on the first Wednesday of each month 3:45-5 p.m. Selections have either foreign settings or foreign authors\, usually both. New members are always welcome! Annual registration is requested to receive important communications about schedule or location changes; register below. Meetings are both in-person and on Zoom. \n“Hurricane Season is\, first and foremost\, a horror story―its horror coming from rather than contrasting with the lyricism of Melchor’s prose. Instead of supplying a welcome breeze in the heat\, the local river is where the children find the Witch’s body. Sophie Hughes’s translation renders the expansive\, punishing spirit of Mexican slang impressively.”― Emmanuel Ordóñez Angulo\, New York Review of Books \n“Melchor’s English-language debut is a furious vortex of voices that swirl around a murder in a provincial Mexican town. Forceful\, frenzied\, violent\, and uncompromising\, Melchor’s depiction of a town ogling its own destruction is a powder keg that ignites on the first page and sustains its intense\, explosive heat until its final sentence.”― Publishers Weekly

It’s an American original.”—Ann Patchett\, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake \n“Searing and sublime … Walter is a slyly adept social critic\, and has clearly invested his protagonist with all of the outrage and heartbreak he himself feels about the dark course our world has taken … What gets us all through … are novels like this one.” Leigh Haber\, Los Angeles Times
