American Fiction Discussion
January 25 @ 6:00 pm - 8:15 pm
1 hr 57 min – CC – AD – R
AMERICAN FICTION stars Jeffrey Wright as Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, a novelist who is frustrated with the publishing industry for perpetrating tired and offensive visions of “Black” culture. As an act of rebellion, Monk dashes off an outlandish over-the-top book under a pseudonym, only to be shocked when it becomes a wild success. This hilarious satire from director-writer Cord Jefferson is a sharp take on contemporary culture. Also starring Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown.
Join us after the film for a discussion led by Shaykh Anwar Muhammad, owner of The Black Reserve Bookstore in Lansdale and president of the Ambler chapter of the NAACP.
