SUMMARY:Book Club: The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland by Michelle Young
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions. \nThis month’s book club selection is The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland\, a riveting and stylish saga set in Paris during World War II which tells the story of how an unlikely heroine infiltrated the Nazi leadership to save the world’s most treasured masterpieces. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout NOMA’s Book Club\nNOMA’s book club is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nThe Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland\nNew York Public Library Best Books of 2025 * Publishers Weekly Best Books of Summer 2025 * Bookbub Best Non-Fiction Release of the Season * MSNBC/Afar Magazine 10 Best Books for the Summer Traveler * Newsday’s Top Must-Read Book for Summer * Christian Science Monitor Best Book of May 2025 * Longlisted for the 2025 American Library in Paris Book Award \nOn August 25\, 1944\, Rose Valland\, a woman of quiet daring\, found herself in a desperate position. From the windows of her beloved Jeu de Paume museum\, where she had worked and ultimately spied\, she could see the battle to liberate Paris thundering around her. The Jeu de Paume\, co-opted by Nazi leadership\, was now the Germans’ final line of defense. Would the museum curator be killed before she could tell the truth—a story that would mean nothing less than saving humanity’s cultural inheritance? \nBased on troves of previously undiscovered documents\, The Art Spy chronicles the brave actions of the key Resistance spy in the heart of the Nazi’s art looting headquarters in the French capital. A veritable female Monuments Man\, Valland has\, until now\, been written out of the annals. While Hitler was amassing stolen art for his future Führermuseum\, Valland\, his undercover adversary\, secretly worked to stop him. She came face to face with Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring\, passed crucial information to the Resistance network\, and faced death during the last hours of Liberation Day. \nAt the same time\, a young Free French soldier\, Alexandre Rosenberg \, was fighting his way to Paris with the Allied forces battling to liberate France. Alexandre’s father was the exclusive art dealer for Picasso\, Matisse\, George Braque\, and Fernand Léger. The Nazis had taken everything from their family—their art collection\, their nationality\, their gallery\, and their home in Paris. \nVivid and atmospheric\, The Art Spy moves from the glittering days of pre-War Paris\, home to geniuses of modern culture\, including Picasso\, Josephine Baker\, Coco Chanel\, and Frida Kahlo\, through the tension-riddled cities of Europe on the eve of war\, to the harrowing years of the Nazi occupation of France when brave people such as Valland and Rosenberg risked everything to fight monstrous evil. \nIn the spirit of Hidden Figures\, with the sweeping narrative of The Rape of Europa\, The Art Spy is an inspiration for us all—an extraordinary tale of courage in a time of violence. \n-description from HarperCollins Publishers \nAbout the Author\nMichelle Young is an award-winning author and journalist. She is the author of the book The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland (HarperOne)\, which was named a Best Book of 2025 by the New York Public Library\, Library Journal\, and Hyperallergic. She is the founder of Untapped New York and the author of Secret Brooklyn\, Secret New York\, and Broadway. \nMichelle is a professor of architecture at Columbia University GSAPP and an instructor at CUNY School of Journalism.

Through his poetic lens\, he guides us through the labyrinthine experience of being part of a community that fiercely and unapologetically celebrates the richness of black humanity. Yet\, this celebration exists in juxtaposition with the world outside\, a world that often distorts blackness into a distorted and unwarranted caricature of fear. \nSmith’s poems move fluidly across personal and political histories\, all the while reflecting on the social construction of our lived experiences. Smith brings the reader on a powerful journey forcing us to reflect on all that we learn growing up\, and all that we seek to unlearn moving forward. \n-description from Write Bloody Publishing \nAbout the Author\nClint Smith is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning With the History of Slavery Across America\, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction\, the Hillman Prize for Book Journalism\, the Stowe Prize\, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize\, and selected by the New York Times as one of the 10 Best Books of 2021.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Libre by Skye Jackson
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions. \nThis month’s book club selection is Libre by Skye Jackson\, a soaring collection of poems that deftly explores the familial\, personal\, and societal relationships of a young Black woman trying to make her way in a fraught world. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout NOMA’s Book Club\nNOMA’s book club is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nLibre\nFreedom reverberates in Skye Jackson’s breathtaking debut\, Libre\, with evocative poems that are heart-wrenching\, haunting\, sensual\, and tender. This collection explores the experiences of a young Black woman in New Orleans as she navigates the pull of familial and romantic relationships\, celebrating the joys of Blackness\, art\, and friendship. Libre also includes Jackson’s award-winning poem “can we touch your hair?” which was hand selected by former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins for inclusion in the Library of Congress Poetry 180 Project. \nAn acolyte of Sade and Stevie Nicks\, Jackson muses on microaggressions\, interracial relationships\, and the endless intricacies of Black women’s hair as she rails against loss\, random violence\, and the dark expectations that society often places upon people of color. She roams each room of the heart\, open and unafraid of what she might find behind every door. Through it all\, this debut shines as the poetry refracts and reflects like a mirror leaving nothing unseen. \n-description from Simon & Schuster \nAbout the Author\nSkye Jackson is an award-winning writer and editor from New Orleans\, LA\, whose poetry has appeared in The Southern Review\, Rattle\, Green Mountains Review\, and was hand selected by Billy Collins for inclusion in the Library of Congress Poetry 180 Project. In 2023\, she was a finalist for the Iowa Review Poetry Award. She currently teaches at Xavier University.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Stranger in the Shogun's City by Amy Stanley
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions. \nThis month’s book club selection is Stranger in the Shogun’s City by Amy Stanley\, a vivid\, deeply researched work of history that explores the life of an unconventional woman during the first half of the 19th century in Edo–the city that would become Tokyo–and a portrait of a great city on the brink of a momentous encounter with the West. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout NOMA’s Book Club\nNOMA’s book club is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule.

Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nStranger in the Shogun’s City\nFinalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography – Winner of the 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award – Winner of the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography \nStranger in the Shogun’s City is a history of a city: Tokyo (which was then called Edo) in the first half of the nineteenth century. It’s also the story of a rebellious\, discontented woman who sacrificed everything to be there. The book follows her from her childhood in Japan’s snow country\, through three catastrophic marriages and a devastating famine\, to her escape to the shogun’s capital. It’s about how a woman used the city to recreate herself — as a maidservant\, a tenement-dweller\, a samurai’s wife — and how she\, and others like her\, built the global megalopolis we know today. \nThe daughter of a Buddhist priest\, Tsuneno was born in a rural Japanese village and was expected to live a traditional life much like her mother’s. But after three divorces–and a temperament much too strong-willed for her family’s approval–she ran away to make a life for herself in one of the largest cities in the world: Edo\, a bustling metropolis at its peak. \nWith Tsuneno as our guide\, we experience the drama and excitement of Edo just prior to the arrival of American Commodore Perry’s fleet\, which transformed Japan. During this pivotal moment in Japanese history\, Tsuneno bounces from tenement to tenement\, marries a masterless samurai\, and eventually enters the service of a famous city magistrate. Tsuneno’s life provides a window into 19th-century Japanese culture–and a rare view of an extraordinary woman who sacrificed her family and her reputation to make a new life for herself\, in defiance of social conventions. \nImmersive and fascinating\, Stranger in the Shogun’s City is a revelatory work of history\, layered with rich detail and delivered with beautiful prose\, about the life of a woman\, a city\, and a culture. \n-description from Scribner Book Company \nAbout the Author\nSkye Jackson is an award-winning writer and editor from New Orleans\, LA\, whose poetry has appeared in The Southern Review\, Rattle\, Green Mountains Review\, and was hand selected by Billy Collins for inclusion in the Library of Congress Poetry 180 Project.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Call Me Larry: A Creole Man's Triumph Over Racism and Homophobia by Larry Bagneris Jr. and Ryan Gomez
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions. \nThis month’s book club selection is Call Me Larry: A Creole Man’s Triumph Over Racism and Homophobia by Larry Bagneris Jr. and Ryan Gomez \, a bracing\, uplifting\, and sometimes laugh-out-loud memoir in which Larry Bagneris recalls his activist career as founder of Houston’s Pride Parade and then\, following a return to his hometown\, as political organizer and mainstay of the local gay community. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout NOMA’s Book Club\nNOMA’s book club is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis.

But New Orleans in the 1950s and early 1960s wasn’t an easy place to be out. In high school\, he channeled his energies into the Civil Rights Movement. By college\, he was exploring the gay bars of the French Quarter— and telling new acquaintances to ask for Larry\, not Lawrence\, when they phoned him at home. It wasn’t until his 1969 move to Houston that the many strands of his Creole identity—Black\, white\, Catholic—coalesced into a powerful political force for gay rights. \nIn this bracing\, uplifting\, and sometimes laugh-out-loud memoir\, Larry Bagneris recalls his activist career: as founder of Houston’s Pride Parade and then\, following a return to his hometown\, as political organizer and mainstay of the local gay community. He invites us to join him on his travels\, as well—from San Francisco to New York\, Tel Aviv to Singapore—as he builds community\, and finds family\, in queer spaces around the world. \n-description from Historic New Orleans Collection \nAbout the Authors\nLarry Bagneris is a social and political activist and Executive Director of the City of New Orleans Human Relations Commission. Ryan Gomez is a data analyst in the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office.
