SUMMARY:Mystery Book Discussion - Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
DESCRIPTION:Presents a true account of the early twentieth-century murders of dozens of wealthy Osage and law-enforcement officials\, citing the contributions and missteps of a fledgling FBI that eventually uncovered one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.\n1920s Oklahoma. The richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma after oil was discovered beneath their land. Then\, one by one\, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman\, Mollie Burkhart\, became a prime target. Her relatives were shot and poisoned. Many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. It became the FBI’s first major homicide investigation… and the bureau badly bungled the case. J. Edgar Hoover turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White\, who put together an undercover team which began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. \nJoin us on the first Thursday of the month for a lively discussion of this month’s title and other of life’s mysteries. Copies of the book are usually available at the circulation desk or can be reserved online or by asking at the desk. This discussion also features cheese pizza while it lasts. Free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards by Kristopher Jansma
DESCRIPTION:“An inventive and witty debut about a young man’s quest to become a writer and the misadventures in life and love that take him around the globe From as early as he can remember\, the hopelessly unreliable–yet hopelessly earnest–narrator of this ambitious debut novel has wanted to become a writer. From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka\, Kristopher Jansma’s irresistible narrator will be inspired and haunted by the success of his greatest friend and rival in writing\, the eccentric and brilliantly talented Julian McGann\, and endlessly enamored with Julian’s enchanting friend\, Evelyn\, the green-eyed girl who got away. After the trio has a disastrous falling out\, desperate to tell the truth in his writing and to figure out who he really is\, Jansma’s narrator finds himself caught in a never-ending web of lies. As much a story about a young man and his friends trying to make their way in the world as a profoundly affecting exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling\, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards will appeal to readers of Tom Rachman’s The Imperfectionists and Jennifer Egan’s Pulitzer Prize-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad with its elegantly constructed exploration of the stories we tell to find out who we really are. “– Provided by publisher.\n“Can a leopard ever really change his spots? Can a person ever change? These are the timeless questions that Kristopher Jansma asks in this enchanting debut novel about three great friends–two men and one woman–their triumphs and failures in life and love and their globe-spanning adventures. From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka\, these three remarkably engaging characters grow up and grow old\, fall in and out of love\, write novels and wed wealthy European aristocrats. As much a story about a young man and his friends trying to find their way in the world as a whipsmart exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling\, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards will delight readers with its near perfect alchemy of emotional depth and warmth\, formal playfulness\, and sophisticated but always accessible exploration of what it means to grow up”– Provided by publisher.
