Update (3/22/23): Regrettably, Vaishnavi Patel is unable to appear at this event due to Covid-19. Meghan O’Rourke will join us instead.
Three best-selling authors with new books share what it means to find the light: whether it’s through a luminous history and heritage, hope for a horizon, or the brilliance of better angels.
In The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, a woman navigates colorism and class, black and white, and the line of double-consciousness. In The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness, Meghan O’Rourke offers hope for the sick, solace and insight for their loved ones, and a radical new understanding of our bodies and our health. Matthew Quick‘s newest book, We Are the Light, is a story of a man who finds friendship, hope, and feathers on his bed from the wings of his dead wife. Moderated by Kalela Williams, Director of the Virginia Center for the Book.
