Colson Whitehead, Author Of 'The Nickel Boys' Comes to Writers On A New England Stage This Month
The event is on Thursday, July 20, at 7pm.
On Thursday, July 20, Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author Colson Whitehead comes to The Music Hall as part of the Writers on a New England Stage series to discuss the newest installment in the Harlem Trilogy, CROOK MANIFESTO. A darkly funny tale of a city under siege but also a sneakily searching portrait of the meaning of family, Whitehead's novel draws a kaleidoscopic portrait of Harlem that summons 1970s New York in all its seedy glory.
The 7pm event will include an author presentation and on-stage interview with NHPR's Rick Ganley, host of Morning Edition.
When/Where: Thursday, July 20 - 7pm
The Music Hall Historic Theater
28 Chestnut Street
Portsmouth, NH 03801
