Every Tuesday and Friday in May we’ll meet up to talk, and we’ll be teaming up with Sarah Hepola, author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget. Unlike the Tournament of Books and the Rooster Summer Reading Challenge, the Rooster Nonfiction Pop-up isn’t a competition-only a discussion about these three memoirs. You can see the full list of nonfiction contenders here. We narrowed that list down to a single genre-memoir-and our readers voted to decide which three books we’d read for this event, and here they are: Hunger by Roxane Gay, Educated by Tara Westover, and Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood. To choose which books we’re reading this month, we asked this year’s ToB readers for suggestions back in March. Welcome to the Rooster Nonfiction Pop-up, brought to you by the organizers of the Tournament of Books.Īll month long we’ll be discussing three recent works of nonfiction.
