Jacinda Townsend will be in conversation with Matthew Sorrento to discuss her latest novel, Trigger Warning. The author Q&A will be followed by a book signing at Inkwood Books, Haddonfield, New Jersey.
“She’d gotten no trigger warning. And her entire life, she wanted to scream now, had deserved a trigger warning. Searing, surprisingly witty, and deeply human, Trigger Warning is a novel about the durational aftermath of anti-Black police violence.”
Jacinda Townsend is the author of Mother Country, winner of the Ernest Gaines Award for Literary Excellence, and Saint Monkey, which won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and the James Fenimore Cooper Prize. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and teaches in the MFA program at Brown University.
