Description:

Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, Takoma, presents Philip Brookman discussing his new book, Redlands.

Combining fiction with documentary photographs, Brookman, a consulting curator of photography at the National Gallery of Art, lays out parallel truths that don’t so much compete with as complement each other, expanding the notion of “truth” itself. Unfolding during the 1960s and ‘70s, the narrative follows an artist named Kip as he moves between the disparate worlds of New York poets and California laborers. Whatever his ostensible goals, the deeper reason for his restlessness is his struggle to come to terms with his mother’s death.

Brookman will be in conversation with Henry Allen, a journalist, poet, and novelist. He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2000.
