Writers at the Wrecking Bar: Valerie Babb in Conversation With Tayari Jones

From the venue:

“Valerie Babb has brilliantly explored the majesty of King James. She has laid out a powerful analysis of the ways that LeBron’s unapologetic Blackness fuels his commitment to community, his confidence, his rooted sense of family, his refusal to accept inequality, his knowledge of the power of controlling the narrative, and his understanding of the responsibilities of celebrity and wealth. The Book of James is simply a triumph.” — Carol Anderson, New York Times–bestselling author of White Rage

At this special edition of Writers at the Wrecking Bar, A Cappella Books welcomes Andrew Mellon Professor of Humanities at Emory University Valerie Babb in honor of her new book on the unique social, cultural, and political life of the incomparable LeBron James, The Book of James. Babb will appear in conversation with Atlanta’s Tayari Jones, National Book Award nominee and author of the New York Times bestseller, An American Marriage.

Presented in partnership with Stuckey’s.
