Palabras is partnering with ASU's creative writing center as part the NEA Big Read to bring you this month's special edition of our Mujerx book club!

This month we are reading, The Round House By Louis Erdrich

This is one event of many as part of a series celebrating Indigenous literary arts and culture across the valley. View the Full Schedule for Phoenix NEA Big Read at http://piper.asu.edu/nea-big-read/events.

For anyone who may be new to the book club, the objective behind the book club is to read books by womxn authors of color, a very marginalized group in the literary canon. Feel free to discuss anything you find interesting about the book. You can talk about anything pertaining to the book, such as literary style, sentences you fell in love with, something you related to, cultural concepts, what you loved about the book, what you didn’t agree with, what you totally agreed with, what you didn’t understand, anything.

As for rules,

- Please be kind to & respectful of everyone in the group. Let people say their piece before responding.
- Try to stay on the topic of the book.
- This book club is also about learning and developing a better understanding of the experiences of women of color, so if you are not a woman of color, please participate in the discussion, but also be mindful of being an active listener when women of color are speaking in the group.
- Relax, unwind, speak freely and enjoy the discussion
