‘The Nickel Boys’ is February book club selection
Between the Covers is discussing “The Nickel Boys” by Colson Whitehead in February. They will meet in the front room of the Hartley Public Library at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22.
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning follow-up to “The Underground Railroad,” Whitehead brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys unjustly sentenced to a hellish reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida.
When Elwood Curtis, a black boy growing up in 1960s Tallahassee, is unfairly sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy, he finds himself trapped in a grotesque chamber of horrors. Elwood’s only salvation is his friendship with fellow “delinquent” Turner, which deepens despite Turner’s conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive, that the world is crooked and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. As life at the Academy becomes ever more perilous, the tension between Elwood’s ideals and Turner’s skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades.
Based on the history of a real reform school in Florida that operated for 111 years and warped and destroyed the lives of thousands of children, “The Nickel Boys” is a devastating, driven narrative by a great American novelist whose work is essential to understanding the current reality of the United States.
Newcomers are welcome to the 2022 Between the Covers Book Club. Stop at the library today to pick up your copy of “The Nickel Boys.”
