The book selection: The Antidote by Karen Russell
With layered storytelling, magical realism, and explorations of belonging and transformation, this book features a prairie witch, a talking scarecrow, a cat, and characters reclaiming memory and identity -- perfect for October. It is Jessa's book of the year -- the luminous prose and its metaphors for repression, memory, environmental collapse, and transformation -- plus one of the main characters is queer, and the story invites reflection on identity, community, and forgetting versus remembering.
