The Daily Bulletin

The Social Justice Book Club will read a collection of short stories titled The World Wasn't Ready for You by Justin C. Key during the spring 2024 semester.

The publisher describes the book this way: “Black Mirror meets Get Out in this gripping story collection reminiscent of the work of Octavia E. Butler, which deftly blends science fiction, horror, and fantasy to examine issues of race, class, and prejudice.”

The book club meets in person every other Thursday, beginning February 8, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in Bacon Hall 204. Meeting dates are February 8 and 22, March 7 and 21, and April 4 and 18. There will be an opportunity to meet the author, Justin C. Key, during our final book club meeting of the semester on April 18.

The book club is free and open to all Buffalo State students, faculty, and staff members. Thanks to generous funding from E. H. Butler Library, the Muriel A. Howard Honors Program, and Student Leadership and Engagement, print copies of the text will be provided to all registered participants, while supplies last.

Anyone interested in joining the book club should fill out the interest form.

More information is available on the Social Justice Book Club website.

Questions can be directed to Julie Setele, senior assistant librarian.
