Author Talk: at Roger’s Free Library, Thursday, November 17, 6:15 PM with Adam Braver

Local author and Roger Williams University professor and Writer-In-Residence, Adam Braver will hold a reading and Q&A of his newly released book — Rejoice the Head of Paul McCartney, introduced and moderated by Susan Tacent.

In the fall of 1969, on Sunset Boulevard, a giant billboard advertised the newly released album, Abbey Road. Shortly after it appeared, Paul McCartney’s head was cut off the display, mysteriously disappearing. Through the ensemble cast of Rejoice the Head of Paul McCartney, we see how that act — the desecration of the symbol of an era — affects a web of individual lives over the course of several decades.

Adam Braver is the author of six novels. His books have been selected for the Barnes and Noble Discover New Writers program, Borders Original Voices series, and twice for the Book Sense list. His work has appeared in journals such as Daedalus, Ontario Review, Cimarron Review, Water-Stone Review, Harvard Review, Tin House, West Branch, and Post Road. He teaches at Roger Williams University and at the NY State Summer Writers Institute.

RSVP required. Please register HERE. This is a hybrid program offered in person and virtually. The book will be available to purchase from our local independent bookstore, Ink Fish Books.
