Tuesday, November 8, 2022 - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

11/08/2022 7:00pm 11/08/2022 8:00pm Let's Talk Books: Native American or Indigenous Authors There are many reasons to read books by indigenous authors. Often native characters are stereotyped or tokenized in literature and film when written by non native authors. Too often native voices are silenced. Native American literature reflects the culture, history, and contemporary issues of indigenous people, and gives light to the fact that “Indigenous Americans” is a very large and very diverse group of people, with many perspectives to share and stories to tell. Have you enjoyed some indigenous authors? Join us for the discussion! Not a traditional book group, Let's Talk Books is a series of casual online conversations about books. We meet on Zoom the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evening of each month and the genre or theme for the discussion changes each time. Join us to talk books with other like-minded readers! Bring some recommendations to share or just join the conversation to get some suggestions from others. Register here and you'll receive a confirmation email with the Zoom login details. You'll also get a reminder email a few days before the event. Everyone is welcome! Iowa City Public Library Iowa City Public Library America/Chicago public
