PEN Presents: Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah & Rion Amilcar Scott. (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Rion Amilcar Scott, Katie Zanecchia) PEN America is proud to present Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah in conversation with Rion Amilcar Scott, two writers known for their innovative approaches to genre, form, and writing beyond reality. Adjei-Brenyah was the recipient of the 2019 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award for Friday Black, a collection of short stories that imagines an America where racial injustice and capitalism continue to flourish unchecked. Scott’s debut story collection, Insurrections, was awarded the 2017 PEN/Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction and the 2017 Hillsdale Award from the Fellowship of Southern Writers. Katie Zanecchia, Director of National Outreach at PEN America, will moderate.
