EN Out Loud: Mitchell S. Jackson With Imani Perry

2018 PEN Writing for Justice Fellow and bestselling author Mitchell S. Jackson commemorates the paperback release of his wholly original hybrid nonfiction debut, Survival Math: Notes on an All-American Family. This critically acclaimed memoir underscores Jackson’s intimate and compelling prose, and is accompanied by historical documents, photographs, and short narratives, as he explores sex and masculinity, race and class, and family and community. Following a reading, he will be joined in conversation with distinguished scholar and winner of the 2019 PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography award Imani Perry (Breathe: Letters to My Sons) to discuss his inspiration, the possibilities of the memoir as a genre, and how to survive in contemporary America.”

Presented in collaboration with PEN America.
