About the Event
Sociological Book Club, Thursday, January 22, 11:00 am: Join Tony Corsentino of Winchester Public Library to discuss this month’s book selection “Erasure” by Percival Everett that was the foundation for the acclaimed 2023 movie “American Fiction”. This satirical novel features an academic writer who lampoons the literary genre with a low brow depiction of black American culture. Written under a pseudonym, the book is a major commercial success winning multiple awards. Reviewers cited this work as “scathing, funny and prescient” despite its release twenty years ago.
