Thursday, November 7th - Swamplandia by Karen Russell
Thirteen-year-old Ava Bigtree has lived her entire life at Swamplandia, her family’s island home and gator-wrestling theme park in the Florida Everglades. But when illness falls over Ava’s mother, the park’s indomitable headliner, the family is plunged into chaos.
Thursday, December 5th - Buddhaland Brooklyn by Richard Moraisis
A vivid portrait of faith lost and found through the eyes of a Japanese Buddhist monk in America. Seido Oda makes his way from an isolated monastery in Japan to the bustling streets of Brooklyn, New York. When his parents hand him over to the monks at the nearby Buddhist monastery, he devotes himself to painting, poetry, and prayer—and avoiding human contact. But his quiet life is unexpectedly upended when he is ordered by his superior to open a temple in Brooklyn.
