Alumni Book Club

Wednesday, November 29, 2023
12 - 1 p.m.

Virtual meetings are typically the last Wednesday of the month at 12 p.m. CT

This month we will have an open discussion on Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land by Taylor Brorby.

Taylor Brorby was Carroll University's Founders' Day Convocation Speaker. His keynote speech was titled, "The Extractive Story: Queerness, Climate Change, and Getting a College Education."

“I am a child of the American West, a landscape so rich and wide that my culture trembles with terror before its power.” So begins Taylor Brorby’s Boys and Oil, a haunting, bracingly honest memoir about growing up gay amidst the harshness of rural North Dakota, “a place where there is no safety in a ravaged landscape of mining and fracking.”

Join the Carroll University Alumni Book Club. All attendees and book recommendations are welcome.
