Flannery O'Connor Award winner Dana Johnson reads & signs Elsewhere, California

Please join author Dana Johnson for a reading & signing of her acclaimed debut novel Elsewhere, California.

"[Elsewhere, California] exhibits Johnson's fearlessness. She goes deeply into territory often simplified or sidestepped entirely––the limbo of elusive identity, not just questioning what "blackness" is but "whiteness"––and otherness––and all that lies beneath it." ––Los Angeles Times

“In this debut novel, Johnson brilliantly knits the dual narratives together, maintaining a dynamic balance between nimble language and rowdy, vulnerable characters. The real achievement is the honest, compassionate, and unflinching willingness to honor teenage struggles for identity, confidence, and love while listening to Led Zeppelin and rooting for the Dodgers.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
