The author will read from and talk about the novel that she created alongside the book’s illustrator, her husband, JM Superville Sovak. T-shirts and copies of the novel will be available for purchase, along with signing opportunities by both the author and artist. Period refreshments are included in this free 1980s dance-party-style event. All ages are welcome and no registration is required.
Due to be released Aug. 18 by Viking, Into the Dangerous World is set in the gritty Manhattan street art community of the 1980s. When teenaged Ror declares, “I am an artist,” to her family, she sets her life on a course of purpose. She makes art in order to figure out her world. When her father dies, she finds herself at a crossroads. Paint the way he taught her? Go to college, like her teacher wants? Or listen to Trey, the brilliant, seductive street artist who leads the Noise Ink crew?
