SUMMARY:Queer Book Group - John of John - Ridgefield
DESCRIPTION:We will be reading John of John by Douglas Stuart.    We have a new location for our group this month\, so make sure to RSVP for location. \nRSVP\nThis book is supposed to be FANTASTIC!!!!  It is also readily available.    There is a description below.  Here is the link for Oprah’s fascinating interview with the author. \n“SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • AN OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \n“This excavation of family\, violence and shame is woven through with beautiful imagistic detail\, and—unexpectedly—shades of hope. We loved the rich\, textural detail of the story.”—The Booker Prize 2026 judges \n“Douglas Stuart brilliantly weaved a layered\, compelling and yet so intimate a story of identity\, what it means to belong\, and the courage to claim your own truth.”—Oprah Winfrey \n“One of 2026’s literary triumphs.”—Boston Globe \nFrom the Booker Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo comes a vivid\, moving novel following a young man returning to his Hebridean island home\, a portrait of a father’s expectations and a son’s desires \nOut of money and with little to show for his art school education\, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry back home to the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides to find that little has changed except for him. He returns to the windswept croft and the two pillars of his childhood: his father John\, a sheep farmer\, tweed weaver\, and lay preacher in the local Presbyterian church\, and his maternal grandmother Ella\, a profanity-loving Glaswegian whose steady warmth helped Cal weather the sudden departure of his mother. \nCal privately wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home\, while John is dismayed by his son’s long hair\, strange clothes\, and seeming unwillingness to be Saved. But Cal isn’t the only one in the croft house who is keeping secrets. As lambing season turns to shearing season\, the threads holding together the community together become increasingly frayed\, and nothing will remain as it was before. \nJohn of John is a singular novel about duty\, passion\, and the transformative power of the truth. It is a magnificent literary work that cements Douglas Stuart’s reputation as one of our greatest novelists working today.” (Amazon) \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, November 16 \n\n\n\n\n7 – 9 PM \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for the new location \n\n\n\n\nRSVP
