Join the Friends of the Rudisill Regional Library for a lively book discussion of the wise, witty and funny novel "Deacon King Kong" by National Book Award-winning author James McBride. For adults.

Alicia Latimer, retired librarian/coordinator of the African American Resource Center, will lead the discussion.

Bring your lunch or enjoy pizza provided by the Friends of the Rudisill Regional Library.

Book Description: From James McBride, author of the National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird, comes a wise and witty novel about what happens to the witnesses of a shooting. In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .45 from his pocket and in front of everybody shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong.
