SUMMARY:Literary Libations | November Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Where good books meet great drinks at The Study at Morrison House! \nJoin fellow book lovers for Literary Libations\, a free monthly book club hosted in the Parlor Room at The Study at Morrison House. Taking place one Wednesday each month\, this gathering offers a relaxed and welcoming space to dive into your next read—whether it’s a timeless classic\, a trending release\, or the latest must-read from BookTok. \nSip on themed cocktails and mocktails inspired by the book of the month\, pair them with small plates from The Study’s bar menu\, or linger after the discussion to indulge in a seasonal tasting menu. \nLiterary Libations isn’t a formal\, structured discussion—it’s a cozy salon for mingling\, exchanging ideas\, and diving into new worlds together. Conversation starters and thoughtful prompts will be scattered around the room\, but the conversation is all yours to shape. \n*SPECIAL DISCOUNT at Old Town Books when attendees mention Literary Libations at checkout! \nBOOK OF THE MONTH: The Night Watchman \nBased on the extraordinary life of National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich’s grandfather who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against Native dispossession from rural North Dakota all the way to Washington\, D.C.\, this powerful novel explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity and unfolds with the elegant prose\, sly humor\, and depth of feeling of a master craftsman. \nThomas Wazhashk is the night watchman at the jewel bearing plant\, the first factory located near the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. He is also a Chippewa Council member who is trying to understand the consequences of a new “emancipation” bill on its way to the floor of the United States Congress. It is 1953 and he and the other council members know the bill isn’t about freedom; Congress is fed up with Indians. The bill is a “termination” that threatens the rights of Native Americans to their land and their very identity. How can the government abandon treaties made in good faith with Native Americans “for as long as the grasses shall grow\, and the rivers run”? \nSince graduating high school\, Pixie Paranteau has insisted that everyone call her Patrice. Unlike most of the girls on the reservation\, Patrice\, the class valedictorian\, has no desire to wear herself down with a husband and kids. She makes jewel bearings at the plant\, a job that barely pays her enough to support her mother and brother. Patrice’s shameful alcoholic father returns home sporadically to terrorize his wife and children and bully her for money. But Patrice needs every penny to follow her beloved older sister\, Vera\, who moved to the big city of Minneapolis. Vera may have disappeared; she hasn’t been in touch in months\, and is rumored to have had a baby. Determined to find Vera and her child\, Patrice makes a fateful trip to Minnesota that introduces her to unexpected forms of exploitation and violence\, and endangers her life. \nThomas and Patrice live in this impoverished reservation community along with young Chippewa boxer Wood Mountain and his mother Juggie Blue\, her niece and Patrice’s best friend Valentine\, and Stack Barnes\, the white high school math teacher and boxing coach who is hopelessly in love with Patrice. \nIn the Night Watchman\, Louise Erdrich creates a fictional world populated with memorable characters who are forced to grapple with the worst and best impulses of human nature. Illuminating the loves and lives\, the desires and ambitions of these characters with compassion\, wit\, and intelligence\, The Night Watchman is a majestic work of fiction from this revered cultural treasure.
