Random Review

Please join us on September 8 for the first event in the 2021-2022 Random Review season! Allison Davis-White Eyes, Director of Community Relations in the Office of Institutional Diversity at OSU, will review Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. Called “an instant American classic” by the New York Times, Caste explores the idea that this country’s racial divisions are in fact a caste system. Weaving together deep research with historical narrative and individual stories, Wilkerson shows how America was shaped by and still enforces a rigid, race-based human hierarchy.
 
You can register here for this free online event, where you will also be able to sign up to receive monthly email announcements about Random Review and watch recordings of reviews that took place last year.

Staff Picks for September

We had some fun with our September Staff Picks and arranged the book titles into a poem. Have you found any book spine poems on your bookshelf lately?

Ready Player Two

Remember
That summer
A month in the country
The sweetness of water

I was told it would get easier
Mapping the interior
The space between worlds
The secret to superhuman strength
How your house works

Bonjour Tristesse
The personal librarian
And now I spill the family secrets
One two three

We are happy to help.
