Amanda Boyden: Babylon Rolling
From the acclaimed author of Pretty Little Dirty, Amanda Boyden, comes a glittering, gritty, and unflinching story of five families -- black, white, and Indian -- living along one block of Uptown, New Orleans. Told in five achingly real voices, Babylon Rolling (Pantheon, $23.95) is the story of one year on Orchid Street, a place where lives clash and collide, and where the humid air is charged with constant wanting. Offering a bold understanding of human nature and the hidden prejudices we harbor, Babylon Rolling is a powerful portrait of racism in America and a city on the edge of transformation. Meet the author at Books And Books, 265 Aragon at 8pm. Call 305-442-4408. http://www.booksandbooks.com
