About this Event
The author of Friday Black comes to London to talk about his blistering new novel, Chain-Gang All-Stars.
Chain-Gang All-Stars is the highly controversial programme inside a near-future dystopian version of America's private Pr*son system. In packed arenas, live-streamed by millions, prisoners compete as gladiators for their freedom.
The story of Loretta Thurwar and Hamara 'Hurricane Staxxx' Stacker, teammates and lovers, and a thrillingly-plotted take-down of American social injustice, Chain-Gang All-Stars is the latest work from one of the finest novelists writing today.
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is the New York Times bestselling author of Friday Black. He is a National Book Foundation's '5 Under 35' honouree, a winner of the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award and the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Award for Best First Book and the Dylan Thomas Prize, among many other accolades.
A host for this event will be announced shortly.
Doors will open from 6:45pm.
