About this event
Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! This November, we will meet to discuss “The Buffalo Hunter Hunter” by Stephen Graham Jones. This chilling historical novel is set in the nascent days of the state of Montana, following a Blackfeet Indian named Good Stab as he haunts the fields of the Blackfeet Nation looking for justice. It begins when a diary written in 1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall in 2012. What is unveiled is a slow massacre, a nearly forgotten chain of events that goes back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow, told in the transcribed interviews with Good Stab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar and unnaturally long life over a series of confessional visits. This is an American Indian revenge story, captured in the vivid voices of the time, by one of the new masters of literary horror, Stephen Graham Jones. This event is open to adults, with no registration required. Stop by the main desk at MCPL-Wausau to grab a book that’s ready to check out! For more information, please contact us at 715-261-7230.
