Books & Brunch to discuss "Deacon King Kong" on Jan. 15

Books & Brunch will discuss "Deacon King Kong" by prize-winning author James McBride at its next virtual meeting at noon on Saturday, Jan. 15.

In this novel set in the 1960s, McBride depicts a Brooklyn neighborhood with a larger-than-life cast of characters that is upended when a bumbling drug shoots a young drug lord in broad daylight. The New York Times named it a Top 10 Book of 2020, calling it "a mystery story, a crime novel, an urban farce, a sociological portrait of late-1960s Brooklyn."

To RSVP and receive a Zoom link, please email Fay Iudicello at [email protected] by Thursday, Jan. 13. Those who RSVP should expect to receive the invitation at 9 a.m. on Jan. 15. 

Books & Brunch is open to all members and their guests.
