His arrival into the industry is calculated\, his charm is magnetic\, and his seductive screen presence appeals to both audiences and celebrities across generations. But years later\, after Xavier dies at the height of his fame\, Aaron Touissant–Skyline’s designated backlot fixer who helps the studio’s stars stay as deep in the closet as humanly possible–is finally ready to expose the powerful culprits responsible for his untimely death.

When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive\, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff\, his deputy\, the coroner\, and a string of racist White townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle\, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till.\n\nThe detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution\, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Something truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up\, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years\, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried. In this bold\, provocative book\, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence\, and does so in a fast-paced style that ensures the reader can’t look away. The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America’s pulse. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Catalog \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-34/ LOCATION:CLP – Mt.

The act of possessing black skin while searching for space to breathe in America is enough to induce a ceaseless state of angst where questions such as “How should I react here\, as a professional black person” and “Will this white person’s potato salad kill me” are forever relevant.\n\nWhat Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker chronicles Young’s efforts to survive while battling and making sense of the various neuroses his country has given him. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/three-rivers-readers-book-club-6/ LOCATION:CLP – Downtown\, 612 Smithfield Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15222\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/what-doesnt-kill-you-makes-you-blacker-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4417491;-79.9971122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Downtown 612 Smithfield Street Pittsburgh PA 15222 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=612 Smithfield Street:geo:-79.9971122,40.4417491 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270210T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270210T150000 DTSTAMP:20261110T173817Z CREATED:20261016T192906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261110T173817Z UID:10008857-1802268000-1802271600@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club - Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed. \nThis event is part of our Black History Month 2027 programming. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Mumbo Jumbo\n Ishmael Reed \n \n\n It is the 1920s in New York City and an epidemic known as Jes Grew is sweeping the nation–a dancing plague\, irresistible\, joyful\, and undeniably Black. Naturally\, the powers-that-be are having none of it. A repressive conspiracy is operating in the shadows\, and it is dead set on squelching Jes Grew and its Carriers–Black artists and musicians–by any means necessary.\n\nSo begins the classic novel by Ishmael Reed\, the iconic satirist whose contributions to American literature have drawn praise from the likes of James Baldwin and Harold Bloom. Mumbo Jumbo is an ingenious deconstruction of Western civilization–a cinematic collage that mixes portraits of historical figures and incidents with sound bites on subjects ranging from ragtime to Greek philosophy. Now with a new introduction by the author\, this timeless and crucial work of twentieth-century fiction is ready to be discovered by a new generation of readers. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-mumbo-jumbo-by-ishmael-reed/ LOCATION:CLP – Sheraden\, 720 Sherwood Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15204\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/mumbo-jumbo-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4552007;-80.0565352 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Sheraden 720 Sherwood Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15204 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=720 Sherwood Avenue:geo:-80.0565352,40.4552007 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
