The 探花app Library will host the first of three BookTalk at 探花appdiscussions on Sunday, Jan. 5, from 1 to 3 p.m. on campus. Due to water damage in BSC’s Skogen Hall, the January discussion group will now meet in the 探花appStudent Union Alumni Room, 1425 Schafer Street, to examine Jeanine Cummins's book “American Dirt.” The conversation will be led by 探花appAssociate Professor of English Dr. Kim Crowley.
 
“American Dirt” tells the story of Lydia Quixano Perez and her eight-year-old son, Luca, as they flee cartel violence in Mexico. Their journey to El Norte is filled with danger, heartbreak, and hope, offering a deeply human perspective on migration. Praised as a literary achievement, the book has been featured in Oprah’s Book Club and selected as a Barnes & Noble Book Club pick.

On Sunday, Feb. 2, BookTalk at 探花appwill continue with a discussion on “The Beekeeper of Aleppo: A Novel” by Christy Lefteri. The final discussion, featuring “Exit West: A Novel” by Mohsin Hamid, will wrap up the series on Sunday, March 2.
 
BookTalk at 探花appis the 探花appLibrary’s annual book discussion series and is free and open to all. BookTalk at 探花appis funded by the 探花appLibrary and the Warren and Rose Marie Henke Memorial Library Endowment.
