THE PROPHETS VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR: The California African American Museum
June 15, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm EDT
Celebrate Pride Month with author Robert Jones Jr. as he discusses his debut novel, The Prophets, with writer Maurice Carlos Ruffin, a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. The Prophets tells of the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a Mississippi plantation, the refuge they find in each other, and a betrayal that threatens their existence. As tensions build and the weight of centuries—of ancestors and future generations—culminates in a climactic reckoning, The Prophets reveals the pain and suffering of inheritance, but also the heroic power of love. This book is available to purchase via Eso Won Books.
