Book Club: LaGuardia
March 4, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeIn an alternate world where aliens have integrated with society, pregnant Nigerian- American doctor Future Nwafor Chukwuebuka, has just smuggled an illegal alien plant named Letme Live through LaGuardia International and Interstellar Airport . . . and that’s not the only thing she’s hiding.
She and Letme become part of a community of human and alien immigrants; but as their crusade for equality continues and the birth of her child nears, Future–and her entire world–begins to change.
Created by Hugo and Nebula award- winning author Nnedi Okorafor and artist Tana Ford, LaGuardia is a biting satire of race, immigration, and what it means to be an “illegal alien” in America.
Join us for our every-other-week graphic novel book club for tea and sweets and this amazing read!
