November is Native American Heritage Month and the Arroyo Book Club is celebrating with a book from (and about) a Native American. Our pick is Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko. The book is described:
Tayo, a World War II veteran of mixed ancestry, returns to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation. He is deeply scarred by his experience as a prisoner of the Japanese and further wounded by the rejection he encounters from his people. Only by immersing himself in the Indian past can he begin to regain the peace that was taken from him. Masterfully written, filled with the somber majesty of Pueblo myth, Ceremony is a work of enduring power.
There will be plenty of copies at the branch on the shelf under the window where we always put the book club books, so swing by and pick up a copy for yourself. The ebook copies are all checked out right now but if you’re interested in the e-audiobook you’re in luck. There’re lots of copies, find them here.
We will meet to discuss the book on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, specifically on November 26 at 3:00. Once again this will be a hybrid meeting so you may come join us in person or join us virtually via Zoom. If you’re interested in the Zoom link be sure to email us at ayosco@lapl.org.
