Join the Center for Fiction in welcoming Yahdon Israel, founder of The Literaryswag Book Club and Senior Editor at Simon & Schuster, and Robert Jones, Jr. (formerly known as “Son of Baldwin”), the New York Times bestselling author of The Prophets, for a dynamic conversation about James Baldwin’s fiction. The pair will discuss the powerful link between Baldwin’s faith and artistic imagination that enabled him to create a language of possibility on the page—and how we can all work to apply this in our own lives.

This event is brought to you in part with generous support from Brooklyn Org.
