SUMMARY:LAUNCH - Casey Plett's On Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a launch of On Community by Casey Plett\, featuring a conversation hosted by our very own Lee Suksi\, author of The Nerves! The event is free and all are welcome. No RSVP is required. On Community is published by @biblioasis_books and The Nerves is published by @metatronpress. \nAbout On Community: \nONE OF CBC BOOKS CANADIAN NONFICTION TO READ IN THE FALL \nWe need community to live. But what does it look like? Why does it often feel like it’s slipping away? \nWe are all hinged to some definition of a community\, be it as simple as where we live\, complex as the beliefs we share\, or as intentional as those we call family. In an episodic personal essay\, Casey Plett draws on a range of firsthand experiences to start a conversation about the larger implications of community as a word\, an idea\, and a symbol. With each thread a cumulative definition of community\, and what it has come to mean to Plett\, emerges. \nLooking at phenomena from transgender literature\, to Mennonite history\, to hacker houses of Silicon Valley\, and the rise of nationalism in North America\, Plett delves into the thorny intractability of community’s boons and faults. Deeply personal\, authoritative in its illuminations\, On Community is an essential contribution to the larger cultural discourse that asks how\, and to what socio-political ends\, we form bonds with one another. \nCan’t make it to the launch?
