Our group in Portland argued about 'American Dirt' for three hours straight
It was at Beth's house last fall, and the talk got so deep about who gets to tell which stories. Half of us felt the book was wrong, the other half said it opened a needed door. We ended up making a new rule: for any tough book, we bring in one outside article to share before we even start. Anyone else try something like that to keep talks from going in circles?

My uncle was a union rep at a GM plant for 30 years. He always said the guys writing about factory life never stepped foot on the floor, let alone smelled the place.
