Staff Pick of the Month
My Monticello: Fiction by Jocelyn Nicole Johnson (PS3610.O35648 M9 2021)

My Monticello is a debut collection of short fiction from Charlottesville writer Jocelyn Nicole Johnson. The title story and novella is the highlight of the book. After the world falls apart, a descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings leads a small band of survivors to take refuge from violent white supremacists in Jefferson's historic plantation house. The story examines the concepts of identity, belonging, and home, and is a speculative look at current events taken to an even more violent and not-that-hard-to-imagine future.

Just released last month, plans are already underway for the novella to be adapted by Netflix!
