Join the community read of Into the Beautiful North, by Luis Alberto Urrea, a story about a besieged Mexican village without any men and a group of young women who go to the United States looking for defenders, learning truths about themselves along the way. The book depicts the contradictions of the US-Mexico border, the blending of cultures and economies as well as the division between countries. Read the book and participate in citywide events, including discussion groups, staged readings, movie screenings and craft projects. You’ll find a calendar of Big Read events here. NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
