Book Club News
Join us at church on Saturday, October 11th at 10am to discuss the graphic novel Ginseng Roots - A Memoir by Craig Thompson. All are welcome!!
Ginseng Roots follows Craig and his siblings, who spent the summers of their youth weeding and harvesting rows of coveted American ginseng on rural Wisconsin farms for one dollar an hour. In his trademark breathtaking pen-and-ink work, Craig interweaves this lost youth with the 300-year-old history of the global ginseng trade and the many lives it has tied together—from ginseng hunters in ancient China, to industrial farmers and migrant harvesters in the American Midwest, to his own family still grappling with the aftershocks of the bitter past.
Stretching from Marathon, Wisconsin, to Northeast China, Ginseng Roots charts the rise of industrial agriculture, the decline of American labor, and the search for a sense of home in a rapidly changing world.
- Barnes and Noble
This is no comic book you read in one sitting; Ginseng Roots is chock-full of narrative, interviews, reflection, and maps.
