Join C. A. Davids in conversation with award-winning author Ladee Hubbard (The Talented Ribkins) around the launch of Davids’s stunning new novel How to Be a Revolutionary. Connecting contemporary Shanghai, late Apartheid-era South Africa, and China during the Great Leap Forward and the Tiananmen uprising— and refracting this globe-trotting and time-traveling through Langston Hughes’ confessional letters to a South African protégé about the poet’s time in Shanghai—How to Be a Revolutionary is a novel of staggering ambition. It is also a heartbreaking exploration of what we owe our countries, our consciences, and ourselves.
Join us Tuesday, March 8th at 6 pm to celebrate the launch of Ladee Hubbard’s collection of stories, The Last Suspicious Holdout! Tickets are required and will include your signed copy of The Last Suspicious Holdout. The first ten people to purchase tickets will receive a free Amistad Press tote!
Scholar and critically acclaimed author Ladee Hubbard created one of the most extraordinary families of American literature in her debut novel, The Talented Ribkins, which won the 2019 Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for debut fiction. In The Rib King, Hubbard’s new novel, we learn the truth behind the legend of the Ribkins’ paterfamilias, a man obscured by the same fantasies that shroud much of American history. C. Morgan Babst, New Orleans essayist and author of The Floating World, will interview Hubbard about the creation of characters and character and the role of storytelling in the rectification of American myths. Filmed at the historical Beauregard-Keyes House in the French Quarter.
