UVA Club of Charlottesville: Hoos Reading Hoos September Book Club

All alumni, friends, and families are invited to join the UVA Club of Charlottesville at Beer Run for this month's Hoos Reading Hoos Book Club. We will discuss "Wastelands: The True Story of Farm Country on Trial" by Corban Addison (Law '04) - Corban will be joining us via Zoom! Food and drinks will be available at Beer Run for purchase.

"Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and told with the air of suspense that few writers can handle, Wastelands is a story I wish I had written. --From the Foreword by John Grisham

The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world's most powerful companies--and, miraculously, they won.” —GoodReads Review
