Native Rights and Culture in Fiction–A Conversation with Mona Susan Power
Virtual Author Talk
Wednesday, November 20
7:00pm - 7:45pm
PEN/Hemingway Prize Winner and An Enrolled Member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋna Dakhóta)
You’re invited to join us as Mona Susan Power chats about her newest novel A Council of Dolls. This conversation highlights how her work explores Native Rights and Native American culture, in particular using an important symbol that anchors comfort and companionship in Native life: dolls.
A modern masterpiece, A Council of Dolls is gorgeous, quietly devastating, and ultimately hopeful, shining a light on the echoing damage wrought by Indian boarding schools, and the historical massacres of Indigenous people. Mona Susan Power weaves a spell of love and healing that comes alive on the page. Register now to join the conversation!
