Oprah's Book Club

Demon Copperhead

From Oprah's announcement: "This is the second time I’ve chosen one of Barbara Kingsolver’s novels for my book club—22 years ago we named The Poisonwood Bible as a selection. Her latest book grabbed me from its opening lines. I so admire the way Barbara has taken the plight of a young boy and invited us on his journey through loss, the foster system, addiction, and so much more. The novel speaks to so many of our country’s relevant issues, but most importantly, it’s absolutely riveting. Can’t wait to hear what other readers think!”

California Book Club

Maggie the Mechanic

We love this pick from the club run by Alta Journal. From the club curators: "Maggie is a mechanic. In Hernandez’s omnibus of early material from the collaborative comic book series Love and Rockets, she lives in the Southern California community of Hoppers, a fictionalized version of Oxnard, the artist’s hometown... Hernandez created Love and Rockets with his brothers Gilbert and Mario; he portrays a world in which pop culture tropes (punk and comics, of course, but also science fiction) are more accurate to the characters’ experiences than naturalism. Why? Because here, Hernandez is after a deeper idea: that we create ourselves out of the detritus of what’s around us, which makes these slice-of-life stories true in the most essential ways."
