Virtual Event: The Center for Fiction

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.
