African American Authors Book Club - Such a Fun Age
Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 5:00pm - 6:30pm
A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both.
Named a "Best Book of the Year" by The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, NPR, Vogue, Elle, Real Simple, InStyle, Good Housekeeping, Slate, Vox, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, BookPage, and longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the complicated reality of being a grown-up.
The African-American Authors book club reads works that focus on writers of African descent, the history of African-American people or people of the African diaspora. New members are always welcome.
