Rivers Solomon with Glory Edim
632 Flatbush Avenue at Greenlight Bookstore
Time: 7:30pm
FREE
Rivers Solomon presents An Unkindness of Ghosts, a novel of powerful and imaginative world building that speaks directly to our most urgent political concerns, in the spirit of Octavia Butler. For generations, the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South, has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship’s leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers that live on the lowdeck. But revolution is brewing – if they’re willing to sow the seeds of civil war. Solomon presents their hotly anticipated debut novel in conversation with Glory Edim, founder of Well-Read Black Girl.
