Kia Corthron & Sarah Schulman

Kia Corthron’s debut novel, The Castle Cross the Magnet Carter, is a sweeping narrative of American history from 1941 to the 21st century, told through the lives of four men: two white brothers from rural Alabama, and two black brothers from small-town Maryland. Their journey culminates in an explosive encounter between the two families. Sarah Schulman’s Cosmopolitans, a modern retelling of Balzac’s Cousin Bette, explores the lives of two friends living in Manhattan and the disruption they face when a family member comes to the city to “make it.” A rare opportunity to hear two novelists discuss intensely relevant and critically praised books.
