The small town of Bottleneck is under the control of Kent, a power-hungry boss who gets control over more the local cattle ranchers by winning a rigged game of cards. When the local sheriff questions the legitimacy of the game, Kent has him killed and names the town drunk, Dimsdale, as sheriff.

Book Club | I Have Some Questions for You by Rebecca Makkai


A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy more that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie. But when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course, Bodie is inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent flaws. In their rush to convict Omar, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn’t as much of an outsider at Granby as she’d thought—if, perhaps, back in 1995, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case. less

Book Club | Deaf Republic by Ilya Kaminsky


Deaf Republic opens in an occupied country in a time of political unrest. When soldiers breaking up a more protest kill a deaf boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear--they all have gone deaf, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, these poems confront our time's vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them. less

Book Discussion | Strong Passions: A Scandalous Divorce in Old New York


On a sparkling spring day in 1853, Mary Emmeline Stevens married Peter Remsen Strong at her family’s more elegant Bleecker Street townhouse. They were said to be ideally matched—charming, well-educated, deeply in love, and from two of New York’s best families. A dozen years later, the couple’s supposedly storybook marriage catastrophically collapsed when Mary confessed to Peter that she was having an affair with his brother. Peter sued Mary for divorce for adultery, but not before she accused him of forcing her into an abortion and having his own affair with the abortionist. The abortionist lived on Waverly Place, where Peter was her landlord. Author Barbara Weisberg recounts how the divorce trial Strong v. Strong riveted the nation with a shocking glimpse into the private lives of New York’s elite and raised issues related to women’s rights still in the headlines today. The true tale of a family and country in turmoil at the end of the Civil War, the Strongs’ story—largely set against the backdrop of Greenwich Village—illuminates a world and neighborhood in process of transformation.     less

Book Discussion | The Presidents and the People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought to Defend It


American presidents have often pushed the boundaries established for them by the Constitution; this is more the inspirational history of the people who pushed back. Imagine an American president who imprisoned critics, spread a culture of white supremacy, and tried to upend the law so that he could commit crimes with impunity. In this propulsive and eminently readable history, constitutional law and political science professor Corey Brettschneider provides a thoroughly researched account of assaults on democracy by not one such president but five. John Adams waged war on the national press of the early republic, overseeing numerous prosecutions of his critics. In the lead-up to the Civil War, James Buchanan colluded with the Supreme Court to deny constitutional personhood to African Americans. A decade later, Andrew Johnson urged violence against his political opponents as he sought to guarantee a white supremacist republic after the Civil War. In the 1910s, Woodrow Wilson modernized, popularized, and nationalized Jim Crow laws. In the 1970s, Richard Nixon committed criminal acts that flowed from his corrupt ideas about presidential power. Through their actions, these presidents illuminated the trip wires that can damage or even destroy our democracy. less
