I would encourage you to give more information on the book club choice - why it fits the New_Public philosophy etc. Like many, I've been focusing my reading on books written by voices from communities traditionally excluded from publishing - GLBTQ, BIPOC, and womxn authors - and would love to understand why this book should be an exemption. From my quick research re the author, it's written by a white man and is about a topic many white men have written about over the years (a secret society which, again based on limited research, seems to be a society of men). This is to say nothing about the book, which I'm 100% sure is wonderful.
Hi, thanks. We look forward to talking about why we think this novel is a great fit for our project as we get closer to discussing it. We are always thinking about how to improve our efforts towards diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we appreciate you holding us accountable in this area.
