Nonfiction Book Discussion Group: Some People Need Killing

The Nonfiction Book Club meets the first Monday of each month at 7 PM. Registration is not required. Just read the book and join us for the discussion. Note: We always love hearing from new people with different perspectives, and we promise not to bite. This month's book is: Some People Need Killing By Patricia Evangelista Widely regarded as one of the most important nonfiction books of the decade, Patricia Evangelista's extraordinary memoir-reportage blends personal history with a fearless account of the Duterte regime's brutal drug war in the Philippines. As a young journalist covering extrajudicial killings, she bears witness to a society unraveling - and to the courage of families, activists, and ordinary people navigating terror. Evangelista writes with precision, empathy, and moral clarity, transforming atrocity into testimony. It's a difficult book, but a necessary one: a reminder of how propaganda, fear, and power shape truth, and how storytelling can become an act of resistance.
