SUMMARY:Wistariahurst Book Discussion Group: “Everyday Something Has Tried to Kill Me and Has Failed” by Kim McLarin
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow readers for engaging conversations covering aging\, feminism\, and racial identity. Kim McLarin’s “Everyday Something Has Tried to Kill Me and Has Failed” captures the endless cycle of progress and backlash that has long shaped race and gender. Readers will investigate McLarin’s narrative and delve into conversations on these topics. This book discussion group will end with a culminating Meet and Greet featuring Kim McLarin\, sponsored by the Massachusetts Center for the Book\, which will take place at Wistariahurst on Tuesday\, May 20th at 6 p.m. \nKim McLarin is the author of three critically acclaimed novels\, several essay collections\, and James Baldwin’s Another Country: Bookmarked. Her work has appeared in the New England Review\, The Sewanee Review\, The Sun Magazine\, The Root\, Slate\, The Washington Post\, The New York Times\, and many others. She is a former staff writer for The Associated Press\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, and The New York Times. Her book\, Everyday Something Has Tried to Kill Me And Has Failed reflects on the experience of being an older Black woman in “periracial” America through the lens of McLarin’s personal experiences. McLarin’s writing has been described as a “wake-up call” and as “unrestrained” by authors and reviewers. Her unique bibliomemoir sheds light on the pain and power in aging\, feminism\, and Blackness. \nWhen signing up for the discussion group\, please let us know if you want to borrow a book by reaching out to us at info@wistariahurst.org or calling us at (413) 322-5660.
