SUMMARY:Janelle Monáe: The Memory Librarian Book Tour by Brave + Kind Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nJoin us for an evening with Janelle Monáe and contributing author Eve L. Ewing. Each ticket includes one copy of The Memory Librarian.  \n*Masks and proof of vaccination are required for attendees* \nWho holds your memories? \nFrom groundbreaking musician\, actor\, fashion icon and futurist Janelle Monáe and an outstanding group of collaborators comes THE MEMORY LIBRARIAN\, a collection of short fiction\, bringing to the written page the rebellious and Afrofuturistic world of Monáe’s critically acclaimed album Dirty Computer. \nJanelle Monáe and an incredible array of talented collaborating creators have written a collection of tales comprising the bold vision and powerful themes that have made Monáe such a compelling and celebrated storyteller. Dirty Computer introduced a world in which thoughts—as a means of self-conception—could be controlled or erased by a select few. And whether human\, A.I.\, or other\, your life and sentience was dictated by those who’d convinced themselves they had the right to decide your fate. \nBuilding off the traditions of speculative writers such as Octavia Butler\, Ted Chiang\, Becky Chambers\, and Nnedi Okorafor—and filled with the artistic genius and powerful themes that have made Monáe a worldwide icon in the first place—The Memory Librarian serves readers tales grounded in the human trials of identity expression\, technology\, and love\, but also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within\, and the stakes and power that exists there. \nJANELLE MONÁE is widely celebrated as an American singer/songwriter\, actress\, producer\, fashion icon\, and futurist whose globally successful career spans over a decade. With her highly theatrical and stylized concept albums\, she has garnered eight Grammy nominations and has developed her own label imprint\, Wondaland Arts Society. Monáe has also earned great success as an actor\, starring in critically acclaimed films including Moonlight\, Hidden Figures\, Harriet\, The Glorias\, and the 2020 horror film Antebellum. She will star in the highly anticipated sequel Knives Out 2. The Memory Librarian is her debut book. \n
