Iron Lake by William Kent Krueger

Part Irish, part Anishinaabe Indian, Corcoran "Cork" O'Connor is the former sheriff of Aurora, Minnesota - population 3,752. Embittered by his "former" status, and the marital meltdown that has separated him from his children, Cork gets by on heavy doses of caffeine, nicotine, and guilt. Once a cop on Chicago's South Side, he's found that there's not much left in life that can shock him. But when the town's judge, Robert Parrant, is brutally murdered, and Eagle Scout Paul LeBeau is reported missing, Cork takes on a mind-jolting case of conspiracy, corruption and scandal.

Moderated by Carole Shmurak, author of 11 books and Professor Emerita at Central Connecticut State University. To participate, contact Carole at cshmurak@gmail.com.

Fall 2021: Land of 10,000 Lakes

The stereotypical behavior of people from Minnesota (courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered) is popularly known as “Minnesota nice.” The cultural characteristics of "Minnesota nice" include polite friendliness, an aversion to open confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a direct fuss or stand out, apparent emotional restraint, and self-deprecation. But clearly, not everyone in Minnesota behaves that way  — as these four novels illustrate.

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

In a small Puritan community, a woman has a baby but her husband has been away for years. She is forced to wear a bright red "A" to publicize her disgrace as an adulteress. When her jealous husband returns, he becomes obsessed with finding out who fathered the baby. Hawthorne's story of punishment and reconciliation explores the concepts of sin, guilt and pride.

< VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING >*

Radio Free Vermont by Bill McKibben
 
When the new owners of a radio station tell Vermonter, local ale lover and radio personality Vern Barclay he can’t be critical of big media on his show he pushes back and is forced to go underground to plan acts of resistance, including hacking into the sound system of a Bennington Starbucks to broadcast a Radio Free Vermont podcast touting the value of buying local. McKibben's playful fable of a novel is about the value and power of smallness in a globalized world
