Running a little late on announcing the choices for the June Moderator Pick, sorry about that. Here are the three choices:

* Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor

Winner of 2019 International Literature Award, shortlisted for the 2020 International Booker Prize and the 2021 International Dublin Literary Award, and longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award for Translated Literature. "Forceful, frenzied, violent, and uncompromising, Melchor’s depiction of a town ogling its own destruction is a powder keg that ignites on the first page and sustains its intense, explosive heat until its final sentence." - Publisher's Weekly


* The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, Teen Vogue, et. al. " This steamroller of a story, about coming of age and coming out in Nigeria, centers on what a family doesn’t see � or doesn’t want to see � and whether that blindness contributes to a son’s death." - NPR


* Red Pill by Hari Kunzru

A New York Times Notable book of the year, an NPR's Best Books of 2020, and one of the A.V. Club's 15 Favorite Books of 2020. “An absorbing parable of contemporary paranoia . . . Mr. Kunzru has always paired his sharp, elegant prose with visions of pandemonium . . . Current events, he suggests, illustrate the madness of the world more effectively than any literary device.� - The Wall Street Journal
