Book Event: Elon Green with Morgan Jerkins

IN-STORE EVENT

Elon Green presents The Man Nobody Killed: Life, Death, and Art in Michael Stewart's New York
In conversation with Morgan Jerkins
Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call Elon Green launches The Man Nobody Killed, the first comprehensive book about Michael Stewart, a young Black artist and model who was the victim of a fatal assault by police in 1983. This narrative account chronicles Stewart's life and killing, the subsequent court proceedings, and the artistic aftermath. In the vein of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace and His Name is George Floyd, Green brings us a tragedy set in stark contrast against the hope, activism, and creativity of the 1980’s New York City art scene and explores how, and for whom, the justice system fails. New York Times bestselling author Morgan Jerkins (This Will Be Undoing and Caul Baby) joins Green on-stage for a reading, discussion, and audience Q&A, followed by a signing.
