Event Details

The Northeast Iowa Peace and Justice Center will continue its community book club series with “The Right Stuff,” written by Tom Wolfe, beginning Tuesday, June 19, facilitated by Ben Gardner.

An introductory meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 19, at 7:30 pm. At the introductory meeting, Gardner will give a brief presentation on Tom Wolfe and his innovative brand of narrative journalism. Gardner will also detail the enormous influence Tom Wolfe had on modern journalism. Discussion of chapter one through the Epilogue is on Tuesday, June 26, at 7:00 pm. Both meetings will be held at the Northeast Iowa Peace and Justice Center, located at 119 Winnebago Street.

“The Right Stuff,” the winner of the 1979 National Book Award for nonfiction, tells the exhilarating true story of the pilots and families involved in the U.S. postwar research with high-speed, rocket-powered aircraft. Through extensive interviews with test pilots and their families, author Tom Wolfe grippingly evokes the true adventure story of the early space race.

“I chose “The Right Stuff” for our June book selection because, without a doubt, it’s the most entertaining history book I’ve ever read,” Gardner said. “And with the recent death of Tom Wolfe, I thought it was a good time to revisit a modern classic of narrative journalism and spark a meaningful conversation. Wolfe had a unique eye and ear for description, so reading the book you feel like you’re alongside Chuck Yeager as he breaks the sound barrier.”

Upcoming book selections include “Jane Eyre,” by Charlotte Brontë, in July; and “Light in August,” by William Faulkner, in August.

Complimentary snacks and beverages will be served at each meeting.
