St James Book Group meets 7/28 at 7PM
This St James Book Group will meet on Wednesday, July 28, from 7-8PM, via Zoom and telephone. If you would like to borrow a book from the inter-library loan, please contact Anne Schuette at 920-242-2819. This book is also available on Kindle and in audiobook format. Please feel free to come to our group even if you have not read the book. Invite a friend. If you have technical difficulties Amma Diane Murray 920-860-5152 will try to help you with these.

The book being read and discussed this month is The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich. Winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, the New York Times bestseller and Best Book of 2020 for the Washington Post, Amazon, NPR, CBS Sunday Morning, Chicago Public Library and Good Housekeeping

Harper Collins writes "Based on the extraordinary life of National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich’s grandfather who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against Native dispossession from rural North Dakota all the way to Washington, D.C., this powerful novel explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity and unfolds with the elegant prose, sly humor, and depth of feeling of a master craftsman." In March, 2020 Luis Alberto Urrea gave this introduction to the book. "Early in this banquet of a novel that invites us back into Louise Erdrich’s ongoing Chippewa chronicles, a character on the reservation boasts, “Law can’t take my Indian out of me.” Unfortunately, the United States government is hoping to do just that through the Termination Bill, an Orwellian plan that promises to “emancipate” Indigenous people from their lands and their tribal affiliations. This isn’t in 1893; the novel takes place in the 1950s. Even that might sound like distant history — but part of Erdrich’s point is that little has changed..."

Book Group usually meets the 4th Wednesday of the month, except in November and December we meet one week earlier.

St James Weekly and email list timing
St James Weekly is included in two emails per week, and mailed once per week. When sharing information about projects, programs, and events please send the info as early as possible so we are able to promote over a longer period of time, when appropriate. (To help limit the burden on everybody’s inboxes, we intentionally send only two emails per week to our email list, unless there is a death or other urgent matter.)

Do you ever have trouble clicking our links?
For a variety of technical reasons, links in the emails we send may sometimes malfunction. These are often due to incompatible updates or security settings on various device, software, and web sites. If you click a link in our emails (or attached PDFs) and it doesn't work properly, type in the link manually. Open your web browser and type in the exact link (don't add www or anything else). Manually typing the link should always work properly. We use customized shorter URLs in the format "go.mysjec.com/_______" that make manually typing links easier than the longer URLs for most events. If you encounter a link that doesn't work when you type it in manually, please contact Tony (text, call, or email [email protected]). Thanks!
