The Scoop: Book Club — Dream Drawings

About this event

All Adults, College Students, Older Adults, Young Adults (Ages 20-34). November is Native American Heritage Month! This month, we will read and discuss Dream Drawings: Configurations of a Timeless Kid by N. Scott Momaday. About Dream Drawings: A singular voice in American letters, Momaday’s love of language and storytelling are on full display in this brilliant new collection comprising one hundred sketches or “dream drawings”—furnishings of the mind—as he calls them. Influenced by his Native American heritage and its oral storytelling traditions, here are prose poems about nature, animals, warriors, and hunters, as well as meditations that explore themes of love, loss, time, and memory. Each piece, full of wisdom and wonder, showcases Momaday’s extraordinary lyrical talent, the breadth of his imagination, and the transformative power of his writing. Dream Drawings is also illustrated with a selection of black-and-white paintings by Momaday that capture the spirit of his prose. We will meet in-person at Sip of Joy (661 Tremont St, Boston, MA 02118) at 2:00 pm for an hour-long discussion. Purchases are encouraged but not required. Our group meets on the second Tuesday each month. If interested in joining, please email [email protected] Accessibility Notice: We strive to make our events accessible.
