11:00 am,New Lebanon Book Group: "News of the World" by Paulette Giles
June 4, 2017
"News of the World" by Paulette Giles, which was a 2016 National Book Award nominee:
"An old man, Capt. Jefferson Kyle Kidd, is content to make his living as an itinerant news reader in Texas until he is charged with a much more difficult mission. A white girl, about 10, has been “rescued” from the Kiowa Indians who kidnapped her and killed her immediate family four years earlier. Would he please take her down to the San Antonio region and return her to her closest living relatives, an aunt and uncle?
“News of the World” is a narrow but exquisite book about the joys of freedom... the discovery of unexpected, proprietary love between two people who have never experienced anything like it... pure adventure in the wilds of an untamed Texas and the reconciling of vastly different cultures... That’s a lot to pack into a short (213 pages), vigorous volume, but Ms. Jiles is capable of saying a lot in few words." ---Janet Maslin, New York Times

In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, "Remember This House." The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of this manuscript. Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. Nominated for 1 Oscar.
Rated PG-13 for disturbing violent images, thematic material, language and brief nudity.
