Event Details

Launched in the summer of 2019 by Chicago rapper Noname, the book club picks two titles a month to discuss both online and in-person in discussion groups around the country. Described as "reading material for the homies," Noname Book Club highlights books that speak on the human condition in critical and original ways while encouraging members to support the works of Black authors and other authors of color.


In addition to reading more books by authors of color, Noname also promotes using local book resources like libraries and local book stores. You can find Noname Book Club titles at DPL or order them through one of Dallas's many independent book stores!

We couldn't be more excited to bring to Noname Book Club to DPL, and we invite you to join us for our first book club meeting, where we will be discussing one of the two selections for the month, A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance by Hanif Abdurraqib, focusing on the Movement II chapter, "Sixteen Ways of Looking at Blackface."

This program is available online only.
