Our Summer Reading Theme is Unearth a Story. It is also our nation’s 250th anniversary. We will offer a mix of current hits, patriotic films and old(er) movies to enjoy throughout the summer.
AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who is fed up with the establishment profiting from Black entertainment that relies on tired andoffensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
