SUMMARY:Strange Futures Book Club: Moon of the Crusted Snow
DESCRIPTION:The Strange Futures book club focuses on sci-fi and speculative fiction by QT/BIPOC writers. “Strange Futures” speaks to the unknown worlds that are to come–but also to the strangeness that is ascribed to marginalized voices\, and how such strangeness can actually be generative\, challenging\, discomforting\, and revolutionary. Hosted by Helen Chau Bradley\, the book club meetings take place every two months\, and are open to the public. \nOn Tuesday 26 November\, 2019\, we’ll assemble at the Petite Librairie Drawn + Quarterly (176 Bernard O.) at 7 PM to talk about Waubgeshig Rice’s Moon of the Crusted Snow. Join us for discussion and drinks! \nMOON OF THE CRUSTED SNOW\nWith winter looming\, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off\, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles. While the band council and a pocket of community members struggle to maintain order\, an unexpected visitor arrives\, escaping the crumbling society to the south. Soon after\, others follow. \nThe community leadership loses its grip on power as the visitors manipulate the tired and hungry to take control of the reserve. Tensions rise and\, as the months pass\, so does the death toll due to sickness and despair. Frustrated by the building chaos\, a group of young friends and their families turn to the land and Anishinaabe tradition in hopes of helping their community thrive again. Guided through the chaos by an unlikely leader named Evan Whitesky\, they endeavor to restore order while grappling with a grave decision. \nBlending action and allegory\, Moon of the Crusted Snow upends our expectations. Out of catastrophe comes resilience. And as one society collapses\, another is reborn. \n**We offer a 20% discount on Moon of the Crusted Snow from now until the meeting date.***
