Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." This quote inspired author Allen Eskens, a Missouri native, to write "Nothing More Dangerous," about small town loyalties and racial tension — a work that took him 20 years to complete. Some reviewers count this novel as one of the greatest novels about our country's racial divides. In his review for the New York Journal of Books, D.R. Meredith wrote "'Nothing More Dangerous' is the next best thing to Harper Lee’s 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'” Come discuss this important work of fiction.
