SUMMARY:SPL Book Club: Award-Winning Books
DESCRIPTION:Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein • Selected by Morgan Witham \nWinner: Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction (2024) \n“A dazzling\, hallucinatory tour de force that takes the reader through shadow selves and global fascism\, leaving them gasping by the end.” –Molly Crabapple\, author of Drawing Blood \nFind Doppelganger in MILS \n“What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired a double? Someone almost like you\, and yet not you at all? \nWhen Naomi Klein discovered that a woman who shared her first name\, but had radically different\, harmful views\, was getting chronically mistaken for her\, it seemed too ridiculous to take seriously. Then suddenly it wasn’t. She started to find herself grappling with a distorted sense of reality\, becoming obsessed with reading the threats on social media\, the endlessly scrolling insults from the followers of her doppelganger. Why had her shadowy other gone down such an extreme path? Why was identity – all we have to meet the world – so unstable? \nTo find out\, Klein decided to follow her double into a bizarre\, uncanny mirror world: one of conspiracy theories\, anti-vaxxers and demagogue hucksters\, where soft-focus wellness influencers make common cause with fire-breathing far right propagandists (all in the name of protecting ‘the children’).” –From the publisher’s website \nEleven readers chose 11 books\, and they will lead 11 discussions in 2026. The SPL book club meets the fourth Monday of every month at 6:30pm on Zoom. There are two exceptions: there is no discussion in August when the book club takes a summer break\, and the last meeting is bumped up to the second Monday\, December 14\, to minimize scheduling conflicts around the holidays. New readers—near and far—are always welcome. To sign up for the book club email list\, please send a request to the email below.
