Bottom Book Club: Post-Traumatic

This month's book club will feature Post-Traumatic by Chantal V Johnson. Attendees are asked to acquire the novella and read it by our meeting date on the 20th so that we can have a facilitated discussion together based on the book. Come ready to chat! This book club meeting will be taking place at Ebony & Ivory Brewing from 6-8 pm. See you there!

Here's the premise:

To the outside observer, Vivian is a success story—a dedicated lawyer who advocates for mentally ill patients at a New York City psychiatric hospital. Privately, Vivian contends with the memories and aftereffects of her bad childhood—compounded by the everyday stresses of being a Black Latinx woman in America. She lives in a constant state of hypervigilant awareness that makes even a simple subway ride into a heart-pounding drama.A debut from a stunning talent, Post-traumatic is a new kind of survivor narrative, featuring a complex heroine who is blazingly, indelibly alive.
