In Deacon King Kong \, McBride brings to vivid life the people affected by the shooting: the victim\, the African-American and Latinx residents who witnessed it\, the white neighbors\, the local cops assigned to investigate\, the members of the Five Ends Baptist Church where Sportcoat was deacon\, the neighborhood’s Italian mobsters\, and Sportcoat himself.\n\nAs the story deepens\, it becomes clear that the lives of the characters–caught in the tumultuous swirl of 1960s New York–overlap in unexpected ways. When the truth does emerge\, McBride shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden\, that the best way to grow is to face change without fear\, and that the seeds of love lie in hope and compassion. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Other Formats \n \n \n \n Audiobook CD \n \n \n \n Audiobook MP3 \n \n \n \n Large Print \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-10/ LOCATION:CLP – West End\, 47 Wabash St\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15220\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club,Social Gatherings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Deacon-King-Kong_1080x600.jpg GEO:40.4400574;-80.034045 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – West End 47 Wabash St Pittsburgh PA 15220 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=47 Wabash St:geo:-80.034045,40.4400574 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270211T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270211T183000 DTSTAMP:20261110T180513Z CREATED:20261019T142929Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261110T180513Z UID:10008909-1802367000-1802370600@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Page Turners Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Dèy by Edwidge Danticat .
