An Evening with Angela Flournoy | Featured Book "The Wilderness"

The National Writers Series is delighted to welcome Angela Flournoy, National Book Award finalist and author of “The Turner House,” to the Milliken Auditorium on October 3rd to discuss her eagerly anticipated second book, “The Wilderness,” a hilarious and emotionally moving foray into the enduring bonds of found family amidst a restless and often volatile America.

Spanning two decades in the lives of five Black women, “The Wilderness” traces their journeys through young adulthood and into midlife as they navigate motherhood, ambition, estrangement, viral fame, and building lives in rapidly shifting cities. With nuance and depth, Flournoy explores the complexities of contemporary womanhood and the connections that sustain us.

“These women, these friends—in their grief and loss, their dedication and their communion—are so achingly real it’s hard to let them go.” —Justin Torres, National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts

The event will begin at 7 PM and includes Q&A and an author signing. You won't want to miss this incredible evening! A book purchase is not required with ticket.
