To Be Renamed... Book Club discussion

We will meet on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 6:30-8:00 pm to discuss Ishmael Reed's 1972 novel, Mumbo Jumbo.

From the Goodreads description:

Mumbo Jumbo is Ishmael Reed's brilliantly satiric deconstruction of Western civilization, a racy and uproarious commentary on our society. In it, Reed, one of our preeminent African-American authors, mixes portraits of historical figures and fictional characters with sound bites on subjects ranging from ragtime to Greek philosophy. Cited by literary critic Harold Bloom as one of the five hundred most significant books in the Western canon, Mumbo Jumbo is a trenchant and often biting look at black-white relations throughout history, from a keen observer of our culture.

Hope you can join us! We may be on the patio if the weather is nice; otherwise we'll be on the first floor inside, trying to soak up the cool air.

Trying to cover all my bases! This meeting will take place at the 61B Cafe on S. Braddock Ave instead of our usual Biddle's. Still plan to meet at 6:30 pm though!

Send me a message with any questions.
