Book Launch | Arc of the Universe by Nikki Alexander
Join us at Busboys and Poets - Brookland for the launch of Nikki Alexander’s debut novel Arc of the Universe. Releasing on June 24, 2025, the novel explores a law professor designing a system of government for a new space colony who is thrust into the national discourse on race and DEI after a police stop gone wrong.
A rallying cry urging readers to meet the moment, the novel takes its name from the quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
“Arc of the Universe is a bold & intriguing work that dives thoughtfully into numerous issues plaguing contemporary America—and some that have plagued it from the very day of its founding,” writes Victoria Lilly of the Independent Book Review.
Author Nikki Alexander is a Harvard educated lawyer who has studied race, gender, and outer space. nikkialexanderwrites.com.
This event is free and open to all. Drink tickets will be provided to the first 20 attendees. Copies of Arc of the Universe will be available for sale during the event. There will be a brief reading by the author with opportunities for audience Q&A. Learn more here.
