All tickets include a copy of The DisappearersAbout The Book: From Marlon James, author of the Booker Prize–winning A Brief History of Seven Killings: a propulsive novel about the M**der of a gay man in 1980s Jamaica and its tragic consequencesIn 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.One night a mob savagely attacks them, killing one of the men. For the survivors, their recovery is as much emotional as it is physical. As their bodies heal, each man grapples with the violence, the hatred, and the rage that the attack made plain. Some try to ignore what the attack has unearthed, while others double down on retribution.In The Disappearers, Marlon James has written a riveting and deeply human story of men forced to make compromises to survive what the society they live in demands. It is both a dramatic page-turner and an unflinching exploration of queer life in Jamaica during the 1980s and 1990s.Marlon James is the Booker Prize–winning and New York Times bestselling author of A Brief History of Seven Killings; the bestselling and National Book Award finalist Black Leopard, Red Wolf; as well as the bestselling Moon Witch, Spider King; The Book of Night Women; and John Crow’s Devil. In addition to the Booker Prize, James’s novels have won the American Book Award, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, and the Los Angeles Times Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, and have been finalists for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the NAACP Image Award. In 2019, Time magazine named him one of the one hundred most influential people in the world. Born in Jamaica, James lives in New York City. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/43d5b520-a68b-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w988-h740-dcc8c8c8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/43e8a0e0-a68b-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w487-h740-dc181818-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ann-arbor/literati-presents-marlon-james/100001988430552309 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-09-03T22:00:00Z - Duration: 1 hour - Location: First United Methodist Church - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 37.74, max: 37.74, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Ann Arbor - **state**: MI - **country**: United States - **location**: First United Methodist Church - **lat**: 42.2807374 - **long**: -83.7415266 - **full address**: First United Methodist Church, 120 South State Street, Ann Arbor, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Literati Presents: Marlon James - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/31124e8c37ea66721dada89642c2c5a4a79dc10075ed6a9f0acf3c32dad49117-rimg-w1200-h600-dc181519-gmir.jpg?v=1779146773 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Literati Presents: Marlon James being held? - **A:** Literati Presents: Marlon James takes place on Thu, 03 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 03 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at First United Methodist Church, 120 South State Street, Ann Arbor, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Literati Presents: Marlon James? - **A:** Literati Presents: Marlon James is organized by Literati Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
