How the Other Half Lives

Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing New York Times best-seller, The Vanishing Half, weaves together multiple generations and locations, from Louisiana to California, spanning the 1950s to the 1990s, to track the radically different lives of twin sisters whose paths diverge when one decides to pass as white and the other remains black. She explores the power of race and the price to be paid for changing identity with Sara Collins, author of the prize-winning gothic novel, The Confessions of Frannie Langton.

This event will be brought to you with the generous support of Michael and Sigrid Laughlin.
