PEN America Virtual Author’s Evening with N.K. Jemisin

NK Jemisin headshot and "The City We Became" book cover

Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2021
Time: 7:00pm ET / 4:00pm PT
Location: Zoom
Donation to Attend: $125 per person

Join us for a special conversation with N.K. Jemisin on her new novel, The City We Became.

The City We Became is Jemisin’s first book in her Great Cities series, and a story could not have landed at a more necessary time. The coronavirus is currently spreading across the country and the world, and New York has been hit especially hard. Jemisin’s New York faces a more fantastical but no less insidious threat, something that wants to engulf the city in fear and darkness, stop its awakening, and kill its avatars—unless the people of the city can join hands to stop it. We are honored to be joined by Jemisin to discuss her novel, her unique approach to the genre, and her future goals for the series.

A $125 donation is required to attend this very special evening. This donation is considered 100 percent tax-deductible and supports PEN America’s mission to defend writers and free expression at a time of unprecedented need. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.
