One Book One Valley selects 'Night of the Living Rez'

CONWAY — The One Book One Valley committee is happy to announce “Night of the Living Rez,” by Morgan Talty, as its selection for 2022.

Set in a native community in Maine, “Night of the Living Rez” is a riveting debut collection about what it means to be Penobscot in the 21st century and what it means to live, to survive and to persevere after tragedy. A collection that examines the consequences and merits of inheritance, “Night of the Living Rez” is an unforgettable portrayal of an indigenous community and marks the arrival of a standout talent in contemporary fiction.
