Ta-Nehisi Coates Presents The Water Dancer

Ta-Nehisi Coates (author of Between the World and Me and We Were Eight Years in Power) returns to Kings Theatre to launch his boldly imagined first novel. The Water Dancer is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women men and children the violent and capricious separation of families and the war they waged to simply make lives with the people they loved. In prose that sings and imagination that soars, Coates further cements himself as one of this generation’s most important writers tackling one of America’s oldest and darkest periods with grace and inventiveness. This is bold dazzling and not to be missed.

Coates launches his book with an interactive conversation on stage at Kings Theatre. (All ticketholders receive a copy of The Water Dancer at the event.)
