SUMMARY:We the Readers - Go Tell It on the Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence this year at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library with a search for The Great American Novel. \n\n\n\nThis month we are reading Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin\, published 1953.  \n\n\n\nBaldwin’s classic novel opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves. With lyrical precision\, psychological directness\, resonating symbolic power\, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate\, Baldwin tells the story of the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Originally published in 1953\, Baldwin said of his first novel\, “Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else.”

SUMMARY:We the Readers - Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence this year at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library with a search for The Great American Novel. \n\n\n\nThis month we are reading Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko\, published 1977.  \n\n\n\nNearly fifty years since its original publication\, Ceremony remains one of the most profound and moving works of Native American literature\, a novel that is itself a ceremony of healing. Tayo\, a World War II veteran of mixed ancestry\, returns to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation. He is deeply scarred by his experience as a prisoner of the Japanese and further wounded by the rejection he encounters from his people. Only by immersing himself in the Indian past can he begin to regain the peace that was taken from him. Masterfully written\, filled with the somber majesty of Pueblo myth\, Ceremony is a work of enduring power.
