Easy one. Meet me at Raking Through Books tonight, please. This is my employer’s monthly happy hour book club, always at Kieran’s, and always featuring some sort of arts and culture “celebs” talking about books, reading from books, hell, sometimes they even read from their own books. Tonight, our hosts will be two fantastic local stage performers who also happen to be African American: Sonja Parks and T. Mychael Rambo. They’ll be reading from and discussing “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” a well-known book written in the era of the Harlem Renaissance by African-American writer, Zora Neale Hurston. Some of you might’ve seen the made-for-TV movie by the same name last year? The script was co-penned by Suzan Lori-Parks. It starred Halle Berry. Big up. Lots of reasons to relish a drink in those last few sentences.
