Join Atticus After Dark and the NHFPL for a discussion with Nicholas Dawidoff about his new new book The Other Side of Prospect: A Story of Violence, Injustice, and the American City. About the Book:
The Other Side of Prospect is the immersive story of a 2006 murder in New Haven’s Newhallville – the “other side of” Prospect Street running north from the campus of Yale University – and the innocent sixteen-year-old boy named Bobby who’s coerced into confession and sentenced to prison for thirty-eight years. A lawyer who discovered his case miraculously helped win his release in 2015, only for Bobby to face heartbreaking challenges on reentry into society. Through Bobby’s experience, Nicky, a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New Haven native, tells a wider story of the tangled legacy of the Great Migration, the hardships of severe deindustrialization in American cities, gun violence, incarceration, and inequality in America.
