About this Event
Book Launch: Grady Chambers presents Great Disasters
Reception at Margot to follow
Prize-winning poet Grady Chambers launches his debut novel Great Disasters, a stirring story of six young men coming of age in the wake of 9/11, and the enduring friendships that make us who we are—even as our paths diverge. Exploring the beauty, hope, and humor that can be found even in moments of deep loneliness and devastation, Chambers' Great Disasters moves between memories of high school and early adulthood to consider friendship, first love, patriotism, protest, addiction, and more. The announcement of a stunning new voice in American fiction, this debut is an exquisitely written, profoundly moving and intimate portrait of disasters big and small, personal and political—and the ways the two are intertwined. Chambers reads from and discusses the book in-depth, before an audience Q&A and signing. A reception at local Fort Greene restaurant Margot follows the bookstore event.
