Los Angeles Review of Books

<p>Join <a href="https://www.skylightbooks.com/event/larb-and-skylight-present-kiese-laymon-conversation">Skylight Books</a> and the Los Angeles Review of Books for a panel with Kiese Laymon in celebration of the re-issue of his acclaimed novel <em>Long Division.&nbsp;</em>The panel features <strong>Aisha Sabatini Sloan, Brandon Taylor and Dana Johnson!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>Long Division</strong></em> (Scribner)</p>
<p>Written in a voice that’s alternately humorous, lacerating, and wise, <em>Long Division</em> features two interwoven stories. In the first, it’s 2013: after an on-stage meltdown during a nationally televised quiz contest, fourteen-year-old Citoyen “City” Coldson becomes an overnight YouTube celebrity. The next day, he’s sent to stay with his grandmother in the small coastal community of Melahatchie, where a young girl named Baize Shephard has recently disappeared. Before leaving, City is given a strange book without an author called <em>Long Division</em>. He learns that one of the book’s main characters is also named City Coldson—but <em>Long Division</em> is set in 1985. This 1985-version of City, along with his friend and love interest, Shalaya Crump, discovers a way to travel into the future, and steals a laptop and cellphone from an orphaned teenage rapper called&#8230;Baize Shephard. They ultimately take these items with them all the way back to 1964, to help another time-traveler they meet to protect his family from the Ku Klux Klan. City’s two stories ultimately converge in the work shed behind his grandmother’s house, where he discovers the key to Baize’s disappearance. Brilliantly “skewering the disingenuous masquerade of institutional racism” (<em>Publishers Weekly</em>), this dreamlike “smart, funny, and sharp” (Jesmyn Ward), novel shows the work that young Black Americans must do, while living under the shadow of a history “that they only gropingly understand and must try to fill in for themselves” (<em>The</em>&nbsp;<em>Wall Street Journal</em>).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, <strong>Kiese Laymon</strong>, Ottilie Schillig Professor in English and Creative Writing and the University of Mississippi, is the author of the novel <em>Long Division,&nbsp;</em>the memoir <em>Heavy</em>, and the essay collection <em>How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America</em>.</p>

XLA Poets Book Launch & Reading - Los Angeles Review of Books

XLA Poets Book Launch &amp; Reading - Los Angeles Review of Books

<p>The City Lights Foundation and&nbsp;the Los Angeles Review of Books Reckless Reader Program&nbsp;present the book launch for Carribean Fragoza’s <em><strong>Eat the Mouth That Feeds You</strong></em>, published by City Lights Books. She&#8217;ll be in conversation with novelist&nbsp;Héctor Tobar, author of <em>The Barbarian Nurseries</em>, who asserts that this book &#8220;will establish Fragoza as an essential and important new voice in American fiction.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carribean Fragoza&#8217;s debut collection of stories reside in the domestic surreal, featuring an unusual gathering of Latinx and Chicanx voices from both sides of the U.S./Mexico border, and universes beyond. In her review for the <em>New York Times,</em> Kali Fajardo-Anstine says, &#8220;<em>Eat the Mouth That Feeds You </em>is an accomplished debut with language that has the potential to affect the reader on a visceral level, a rare and significant achievement from a forceful new voice in American literature.&#8221;</p>
<p>The event is free to attend, but registration&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/carribean-fragoza-tickets-138546974731">(CLICK HERE)</a> is required.</p>
