Nonfiction Book Group with Carlo
Discussing The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History by David F. WalkerLed by former Greenlight bookseller Carlo, our nonfiction book group meets monthly to read and discuss non-fiction titles related to issues of politics, the natural world, and any other systems that connect us all.
For November, the group discusses The Black Panther Party, a bold and fascinating graphic novel history by David F. Walker and a winner of the Eisner Award. Founded in Oakland, California, in 1966, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was a radical political organization that stood in defiant contrast to the mainstream civil rights movement. Using dramatic comic book-style retellings and illustrated profiles of key figures, The Black Panther Party explores the impact and significance of the Panthers, capturing the major events, people, and actions of the party, as well as their cultural and political influence and enduring legacy.

Fiction Book Group with Alexis
Discussing Interior Chinatown by Charles YuLed by former Greenlight general manager Alexis, our Fiction Book Group meets monthly to discuss paperback fiction, reading broadly in contemporary fiction with the occasional diversion into classics.
For December, the group discusses an award-winning, New York Times bestselling novel—Interior Chinatown! Infinitely inventive and deeply personal, Charles Yu's fourth book is his most moving, daring, and masterful novel yet, exploring themes of pop culture, assimilation, and immigration while unraveling in the secret history of Chinatown and the buried legacy of a family.
