About this Event
Dystopia Now: A Public Reading with Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
Join Environmental Storytelling CNY for an interactive reading with National Book Award finalist Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, who will read from his debut novel, Chain Gang All-Stars, a kaleidoscopic, excoriating look at the American Pr*son system’s alliance of systemic racism, unchecked capitalism, and mass incarceration, and a clear-eyed reckoning with what freedom in this country really means. Adjei-Brenyah will discuss how he draws upon and criticizes real-world systems within his own fiction, and will ask audience members to imagine different worlds through their own stories.
This event is free and open to all with food served! Reserve a spot to let us know you're coming and to receive reminders.
