Co-presented with Grace Cathedral’s The Forum

“Unlike anything I have read…this book will make a mark.” —Percival Everett, Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning author. In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the January 6 insurrection, as America seemed to be falling apart, New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist David Treuer decided to hold himself and his family together the only way he knew how: he sat down to write a letter. Ranging from Treuer’s upbringing on the Leech Lake reservation in Minnesota to the experiences of his parents, a Jewish Holocaust refugee and the first American Indigenous woman judge, The Savage Mind reveals the terrifying essence of our nation: frontier violence, which has defined our country, our culture, and our very selves. In conversation with Grace Cathedral’s The Very Rev. Malcolm Clemens Young. The Forum is a series of stimulating conversations about faith and ethics in relation to the important issues of our day. Doors at 12:30pm.
