Tallahassee

The "Tallahassee" category of books encapsulates a diverse collection of literary works that are intrinsically connected to the city of Tallahassee, Florida. This genre includes an array of fiction and non-fiction titles that explore the city's rich history, its vibrant political scene as the state capital, the unique blend of Southern culture with college-town dynamism, and the lush, subtropical landscape that defines the region. From political thrillers set against the backdrop of the Florida State Capitol to coming-of-age stories within the halls of Florida State University or Florida A&M, and from historical accounts of the city's founding to explorations of the nearby Apalachicola National Forest, the "Tallahassee" category offers readers a chance to experience the heart and soul of this distinct American locale through the eyes of novelists, historians, and local storytellers. Whether it's through the lens of mystery, romance, or a deep dive into local lore and legends, each book in this category serves as a literary homage to the city's unique character and its place in the tapestry of Floridian and American life.

  1. 1. The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

    Set in the 1960s, this book follows the story of two African-American boys, Elwood and Turner, who are sent to a brutal reform school, the Nickel Academy, in Florida. The narrative explores their struggle to maintain their humanity in the face of physical and emotional abuse, systemic racism, and injustice. The book is a searing indictment of the horrific realities of racism and the long-lasting effects of trauma and dehumanization, based on the real story of a reform school in Florida that operated for 111 years and warped the lives of thousands of children.
