This celebration centers on James's latest novel, a gripping exploration of the murder of a gay man in 1980s Jamaica and its profound repercussions on a group of men rehearsing a play amidst societal violence and hatred. The event will be held at the First Baptist Church of Decatur, 308 Clairemont Avenue, Decatur, GA 30030, with doors opening at 6:30 PM and the program starting promptly at 7:00 PM. Attendees must register, and tickets include options for a free admission or a paid ticket that includes a copy of the book. Masks are encouraged, and the venue is fully accessible. This is a unique opportunity to engage with a significant narrative and discuss themes of identity and resilience with the acclaimed author, a Booker Prize winner whose works have gained international recognition.
