SUMMARY:EXAMINING A FRACTURED AMERICA
DESCRIPTION:Recoding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better is a bold call to reexamine how our government operates – and how it sometimes fails.

SUMMARY:Billy-Ray Belcourt on A Minor Chorus: A Novel: Fiction
DESCRIPTION:In Billy-Ray Belcourt’s A Minor Chorus: A Novel\, set against the stark expanse of Northern Alberta\, a queer Indigenous doctoral student steps away from his dissertation to write a novel. His work is informed by a series of poignant encounters\, including a heart-to-heart with fellow doctoral student River over the mounting pressure placed on marginalized scholars\, and a meeting with Michael\, a closeted man from his hometown whose vulnerability and loneliness punctuate the realities of queer life on the fringe. Woven throughout these conversations are memories of Jack\, a cousin caught in the cycle of police violence\, drugs\, and survival. Jack’s life parallels the narrator’s own; the possibilities of escape and imprisonment are left to chance with colonialism stacking the odds.
