An Arlington Reads Signature Author Event

Join us for a conversation between Library Director Diane Kresh and author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah about his work, "Chain-Gang All-Stars." 

Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is a speculative fiction author. His first novel "Chain-Gang All-Stars" was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction, shortlisted for the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize and the Books Are My Bag Awards, and selected as a New York Times Top Ten Books of the Year. Adjei-Brenyah is a National Book Foundation’s ‘5 Under 35’ honoree.

The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Copies of the book will be available for sale, courtesy of One More Page Books
