About
Twenty-seven seasons in, Talking Volumes — presented by MPR News and the Minnesota Star Tribune — remains one of the region's most anticipated literary event series. This fall, five bestselling authors sit down with award-winning journalists Kerri Miller and Catherine Richert for deep conversations about their books, their lives, and the ideas shaping our world. And we’ll do it all in a welcoming new home: The O'Shaughnessy Auditorium at St. Catherine University.
From Marlon James, author of the Booker Prize–winning A Brief History of Seven Killings: a propulsive novel about the murder of a gay man in 1980s Jamaica and its tragic consequences. In 1988, eight men in Kingston, Jamaica, begin rehearsals for a play. The men are strangers to one another, and each has a different reason for being involved. But they all share one inescapable truth: All of them are gay―a “battyman” in Jamaican argot―and all of them must contend with the dangers that such a truth lays bare.
