Harvard Bookstore and GrubStreet welcome debut novelist Yaa Gyasi for a reading from her anticipated first book, HOMEGOING: A NOVEL. Called “an inspiration” by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and “hypnotic” by Isabel Wilkerson, Gyasi’s multi-generational novel explores the long-term costs of human trafficking in Ghana, Europe and America.
The reading will be followed by a book signing. This event is free and open to the public; no tickets are required.
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
