Wesley Brown, with Douglas Kearney, & Tragic Magic via Skylight Books – Online Event   

Wesley Brown, in conversation with poet Douglas Kearney, will read and discuss his book, Tragic Magic.

Wesley Brown is the author of three novels, a collection of short stories, Dance of the Infidels, and four produced plays. Tragic Magic is the story of Melvin Ellington, a.k.a. Mouth, a Black, twenty-something ex-college radical who has just been released from a five-year prison stretch after being a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. The author structures this first person tale around Ellington’s first day on the outside, haunted by a past that drives him to make sense of choices leading up to this day.

Originally published in 1978, and edited by Toni Morrison during her time at Random House, this Of the Diaspora edition of Tragic Magic features a new introduction by author Wesley Brown.
