Save the Date! First #WhiteTooLong Paid Subscriber Virtual Event This Wednesday
This Wednesday night (11/08/2023) at 7:00 pm ET, I’m hosting my first zoom event for paid subscribers only: a conversation with my good friend Greg Garrett, author of the new book, The Gospel According to James Baldwin: What America’s Great Prophet Can Teach Us about Life, Love, and Identity. I hope you’ll join us. We’ll talk for about 45 minutes and then take questions from participants.
Here’s what I had to say about Greg’s important book:
In this concise volume, Greg Garrett has given us an immense gift: a beautifully written and accessible window into the wisdom of James Baldwin. Garrett powerfully presents Baldwin as a compassionate witness, an unyielding prophet, and even a saint in the deepest meaning of that word. Garrett lets Baldwin’s incandescent writing shine through, illuminating a path forward and allowing us to see that we can do and be better than we are.
How it will work:
If you’re a paid subscriber, you’ll receive the Zoom link Tuesday night (and I’ll send a reminder late Wednesday afternoon as well).
If you’re NOT yet a paid subscriber, now’s a great time to get in on subscriber-only benefits. If you sign up today, you’ll receive the invitation tomorrow.
Regardless of whether you can make the event, I encourage everyone to buy Greg’s important and accessible book. If you use any of the links in this email, a portion of your purchase goes to support my newsletter.
