About this event

Yaa Gyasi’s Transcendent Kingdom -- the stunning follow-up to her acclaimed national best seller Homegoing -- is a powerful, raw, intimate, deeply layered novel about a Ghanaian family in Alabama. Gifty is a sixth-year PhD candidate in neuroscience studying reward-seeking behavior in mice, determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her -- her brother's painkiller addiction and death of an overdose, her mother's debilitating depression -- who also finds herself hungering for her childhood faith and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised. This is a deeply moving novel about faith, science, religion, family, and love, which Roxane Gay calls "absolutely transcendent." Yaa Gyasi, our neighbor at Greenlight, talks about her book live with Pulitzer Prize winner and former Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith at this special virtual event. Yaa will sign and personalize copies of Transcendent Kingdom for ticketholders.

Some ticket options include a signed copy of Transcendent Kingdom, which can be shipped or picked up at one of our store locations. Copies may be personalized by request; please note book delivery and signing options when purchasing.
