About
The Metropolitan Library is proud to partner with Noname Book Club to host their monthly book talks! Noname is an online/IRL community dedicated to uplifting POC voices. We do this by highlighting two books each month written by authors of color. In addition to building community with folks across the country, we also send our monthly book picks to incarcerated comrades through our Prison Program. This month's selection is Brotherhood, by Mohamed Sarr. WINNER of the French Voices Grand Prize, Prix Ahmadou Kourouma, and Grand Prix du Roman Métis Mohamed Mbougar Sarr's searing and thought-provoking debut novel, Brotherhood, takes place in the imaginary town of Kalep, where a fundamentalist Islamist government has spread its brutal authority. Under the regime of the so-called Brotherhood, two young people are publicly executed for having loved each other. In response, their mothers begin a secret correspondence, their only outlet for the grief they share and each woman's personal reckoning with a leadership that would take her beloved child's life. Metropolitan Branch hosts this free Fulton County Library event in Atlanta, with 1:00 PM-3:00 PM, room or area: Meeting Room B. Expect a library-led reading, book, or discussion format rather than a ticketed performance. The library event page is the source for current capacity and access notes.
