Politics and Prose and the PEN/Faulkner Foundation are building on their successful partnership, curating a second season of the Contemporary Fiction Reading Series. The series will be hosted at P&P’s Busboys and Poets locations throughout the city this spring and will feature some of the most exciting voices in American and international fiction, including Alexander Chee, Hanya Yanagihara, and Helen Oyeyemi. Tonight's event features A. Igoni Barrett, author of Blackass: A Novel.

All events are free and open to the public, and they will be hosted at three Busboys and Poets locations, all of which feature a Politics and Prose bookshop and P&P events throughout the year.

At Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th St., NW, Washington, DC. Click here for more info. And click here to read the Independent's recent review of Blackass.
