Welcome to Wild Read! Inspired by the writing of Octavia Butler, our speculative fiction book club reads and discusses books imagining a range of possible futures and parallel presents from diverse cultural perspectives. Drawing upon different experiences of the present and different understandings of the past Wild Read book selections use adventurous plots and unreal settings to explore very real themes like race, gender, spirituality, science, mythology and power.

Join us Sunday, May 18th at 2pm for a discussion of Nnedi Okorafor's Who Fears Death. All are welcome but please RSVP at our store, Facebook, by phone (612-454-0455) or by email (info@moonpalacebooks.com) and we'll set up a chair for you.
