Jacqueline Woodson Interviewed by Callie Crossley

Porter Square books welcomes acclaimed New York Times-bestselling and National Book Award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson (BROWN GIRL DREAMING) in conversation with WGBH’s Callie Crossley.

Woodson will be discussing first adult novel in twenty years: ANOTHER BROOKLYN. Running into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything until it wasn’t. For August and her girls, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant a part of a future that belonged to them. ANOTHER BROOKLYN heartbreakingly illuminates the formative time when childhood gives way to adulthood the promise and peril of growing up and exquisitely renders a powerful, indelible, and fleeting friendship that united four young lives.
