Event Type: Adult Program Age Group(s): Adult Date: 7/10/2019 Start Time: 10:00 AM End Time: 11:00 AM Description: Discuss "Friday Black" by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah.
Library: Sunriver Public LibraryA piercingly raw debut story collection from a young writer with an explosive voice; a treacherously surreal, and, at times, heartbreakingly satirical look at what it's like to be young and black in America. From the start of this extraordinary debut, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's writing will grab you, haunt you, enrage and invigorate you. By placing ordinary characters in extraordinary situations, Adjei-Brenyah reveals the violence, injustice, and painful absurdities that black men and women contend with every day in this country. These stories tackle urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest, and explore the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. -- from publisher Location: Wild Wood Coffee House Contact: Sami Kerzel, Community Librarian Contact Number: 541-312-1081 Presenter: Sami Kerzel, Community Librarian |
