Greetings True Believers! Join us this month for our next Book Club selection, Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorofor!
There are plenty of copies available at local libraries and cheap on Amazon, so you’ll have plenty of time to join us.
We’ll meet on January 21st to discuss it at a yet to be chosen location, (let us know if you have any suggestions, preferably a bar or coffee shop, not a restaurant.)
Excelsior…
Affectionately dubbed “the Nigerian Harry Potter,” Akata Witch weaves together a heart-pounding tale of magic, mystery, and finding one’s place in the world.
Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she’s albino. She’s a terrific athlete, but can’t go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazing—she is a “free agent” with latent magical power. Soon she’s part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too?
“There’s more imagination on a page of Nnedi Okorafor’s work than in whole volumes of ordinary fantasy epics.
” —Ursula K. Le Guin, award-winning author of A Wizard of Earthsea
“The most imaginative, gripping, enchanting fantasy novels I have ever read!” —Laurie Halse Anderson, National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Speak
“I always loved science fiction, but I didn’t feel I was part of it—until I read first Octavia Butler, and now Nnedi Okorafor.” —Whoopi Goldberg
“Highly original stuff, episode after amazing episode, full of color, life, and death. Nnedi Okorafor’s work is wonderful!” —Diana Wynne Jones, award-winning author of The Chronicles of Chrestomanci
“Jam-packed with mythological wonders.” —Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series
“Okorafor’s imagination is stunning.” —The New York Times Book Review
Well, we’re definitely cutting it close with this one, but we got seats, and there are still plenty left at Court Street for this viewing, but not for long…

Greetings True Believers,
This month’s book will be a modern classic of Caribbean literature, I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem, a stunning novelization of the real-life story of the first woman, an African-American, accused of witchcraft at the infamous Salem Witch Trials.
We’ll be trying out a new location for this month’s meeting, hopefully, something a little quieter, so RSVP and stay tuned!
“This wild and entertaining novel expands on the true story of the West Indian slave Tituba, who was accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, arrested in 1692, and forgotten in jail until the general amnesty for witches two years later. Maryse Condé brings Tituba out of historical silence and creates for her a fictional childhood, adolescence, and old age. She turns her into what she calls “a sort of female hero, an epic heroine, like the legendary ‘Nanny of the maroons,’” who, schooled in the sorcery and magical ritual of obeah, is arrested for healing members of the family that owns her.
CARAF Books:Caribbean and African Literature Translated from French
This book has been supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agencY.”
There’s no Justice, there’s just us, but come and see the movie with us anyways!
Believe the hype or don’t, but we are going to check out Justice League and decide for ourselves!
Batfleck, Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash hit the big screen! Alamo Drafthouse always sells out quickly, so hurry up and get your tickets!
We’ll check this out and grab a drink or two afterward this time.

“If the literary gods mixed together Haruki Murakami and Ralph Ellison, the result would be Victor LaValle.”—Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See
“A dark fairy tale of New York, full of magic and loss, myth and mystery, love and madness. The Changeling is a mesmerizing, monumental work.”—Marlon James, author of A Brief History of Seven Killings
A summer reading pick by The New York Times • O: The Oprah Magazine • Vulture • PopSugar • Publishers Weekly
“LaValle’s haunting tale weaves a mesmerizing web around fatherhood, racism, horrific anxieties and even To Kill a Mockingbird.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“Like a woke Brothers Grimm, his clever new spin on the ages-old changeling myth is a modern fairy tale for the Trump era.”—USA Today (four out of four stars)
