SUMMARY:September Book Club: Sula
DESCRIPTION:A book club for adults who want to read in community. We meet 
 one Friday morning a month to chat about a title we read in 
 common.\n\n--\nBack to School September: Reading the Classics\n\nSULA \nby 
 Toni Morrison (1973)\n\nA modern masterpiece about love and kinship\, about 
 living in an America birthed from slavery. Nobel Prize laureate Toni 
 Morrison gives life to characters who struggle with what society tells them 
 to be\, and the love they long for and crave as Black women. (from the 
 publisher)\n\n--\n\nReading club participants are also encouraged to read 
 the chapter on Sula (pp 49-70) in:\n\nON MORRISON\nby Namwali Serpell 
 (2026)\n**pages 49-70 only\n\nToni Morrison\, Nobel Laureate and one of our 
 most beloved writers\, has inspired generations of readers. But her 
 artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona\, 
 perhaps because\, as Namwali Serpell puts it\, “she is our only truly 
 canonical black female writer—and her work is highly complex.” In On 
 Morrison\, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning 
 writer and a professor who teaches a course on Morrison to illuminate her 
 masterful experiments with literary form. This is Morrison as you’ve 
 never encountered her before\, a journey through her oeuvre...with 
 contextual guidance and original close readings. At once accessible and 
 uncompromisingly rigorous\, On Morrison is a primer not only on how to read 
 one of the most significant American authors of all time but also on how to 
 read great works of literature in general. This dialogue on the page 
 between two black women artist-readers is stylish\, edifying\, and 
 thrilling in its scope and intelligence. (from the publisher)\n\nCopies of 
 both books will be available at the Circulation Desk starting September 
 1.\n
