Coming Soon: A Special Author Event

Brookline Village

Wednesday, September 10, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Join Brookline Booksmith at the Brookline Public Library to celebrate To Save and Destroy with author Viet Thanh Nguyen, in conversation with Takeo Rivera.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer (now an HBO series), To Save and to Destroy is a moving and unflinchingly personal meditation on the literary forms of otherness and a bold call for expansive political solidarity.
