Author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah joins us to discuss his hotly-anticipated debut novel, Chain-Gang All-Stars.

Set within a depraved private prison system, the novel follows two women fighting in a highly-popular, highly-controversial, profit-raising program in America’s increasingly dominant private prison industry. It’s the return of the gladiators and prisoners are competing for the ultimate prize: their freedom.

Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah discusses Chain-Gang All-Stars with host Anupa Mistry.

This event is part of our signature Salon Series, where we host local and international authors, artists and thinkers in conversation about their new books and big ideas.
