On April 12, at 4 PM, the SUUS Book Group will discuss Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad. This received the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for fiction as an “alternate history novel“ and tells the story of Cora and Caesar, two slaves in the South during the 1800’s, who make a bid for freedom from their Georgia plantation.
The choice for May 10 is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. This is the story of Count Alexander Rostov who was sentenced to house arrest in the Moscow Metropol Hotel in 1922. One reviewer called this a “masterly encapsulation of modern Russian history.”
The SUUS Book Group meets in the library at 4 PM on the second Thursday of the month.
