Virtual Only

In the lead-up to America’s 250th anniversary, this book club explores history through both fiction and non-fiction that challenge familiar narratives and invite fresh perspectives on the American past. Each selection encourages readers to look beyond the textbook version of history and consider the people, choices, and hidden stories that shaped the nation.

May Selection: The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

In May’s selection, we pivot to a gripping and unsettling novel that blends horror with contemporary Native American experience. Centered on four Blackfeet men haunted by a past hunting trip gone wrong, the story examines themes of cultural identity, tradition, guilt, and survival. Through suspense and sharp social insight, this selection invites readers to confront the lingering consequences of history and consider whose stories have too often been marginalized in the American narrative.
