Cynthia will read from her award-winning debut book, The Half-White Album. The reading will be followed by a conversation with Hilda, author, poet, teacher, and editor, about the making of the book. The Half-White Album is a hybrid book composed of fiction—long form and flash—creative non-fiction, and poetry. The book is told through multiple characters, yet Sylvester weaves these pieces, these fractured lives together to create one story. Join Cynthia and Hilda as they discuss the making of The Half-White Album, its threads, and the larger story the book suggests.
