Overview
In association with the Tenement Museum
Kia Corthron discusses her new novel examining racism, family, and identity through the eyes of Theo, a young girl growing up between the homes of her Irish and Black grandparents in the Five Points neighborhood of mid-19th century New York City.
Michael Patrick MacDonald, New York Times bestselling author of All Souls: A Family Story From Southie, moderates.
"Theo is the lone narrator in Moon and the Mars, but her voice is so rich with the locutions and grammatical tics of her joint heritage that it sounds almost choral”—WALL STREET JOURNAL
