  • Who knew that November could come so quickly? If you feel like this year is moving by way too quickly, then maybe it’s time to take a little step back in time – and what better way to do that than through historical fiction? For the month, the book we’ll be sharing is Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo, a work that is a bit of an octopus-book, which is a term I just made up to refer to a book that falls under multiple different classifications and categories and takes on a lot of different topics and points of interest. This one, for example, is a young adult-targeted, historical, coming-of-age, LGBT romantic fiction, which in itself contains commentaries on race relations, immigration, political tensions, women’s education and social empowerment, and sexuality and gender, and the history of underground lesbian communities. As so many of us in English studies love to say, “there’s a lot to unpack there.” It’s a lot of work to write a good historical fiction book – it takes dedication and care and closeness and so much research, but when it  all comes together, it gives us something beautiful. I hope that you and I find this month that Last Night at the Telegraph Club is one of the good ones.
