In-person event

Columbus Park, BK (Center Stage)

Everyday lives and experiences feed into the creative force behind these powerful books, from exploring the Latinx diaspora through fifteen different voices and the trials and triumphs of growing up Black and queer, to the life of a Jamaican-American teen on the cusp adulthood, a worldwide pandemic, and a tidal wave of social justice activism. Saraciea Fennell (Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed), George M. Johnson (All Boys Aren't Blue), and C. J. Farley (Zero O'Clock) discuss how real-life events can inspire moving, unforgettable storytelling. Moderated by David Levithan.
