Book Club: Ella Minnow Pea

  • 29 Mar 2021

  • Virtual - Slack
Registration is closed

This month, we are reading: Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark Dunn!

Ella Minnow Pea is a girl living happily on the fictional island of Nollop off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named after Nevin Nollop, author of the immortal phrase containing all the letters of the alphabet, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the island’s Council, which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop. As the letters progressively drop from the statue they also disappear from the novel. The result is both a hilarious and moving story of one girl’s fight for freedom of expression, as well as a linguistic tour de force sure to delight word lovers everywhere.

Please note that book club meetings are currently being held virtually on the Slack due to the pandemic. If you are not a member and would like to join our discussion, please reach out to mary@roswellfirelabs.org after registering so we can get you added to the channel.
