All reading frequencies are welcome!For September, the group returns with That's How They Get You by Thurber Prize-winning author Damon Young, a pioneering collection of Black humor from some of the most acclaimed writers and performers at work today.

This is a mixture of not just observational anxieties and stream-of-consciousness lucidities but also acute political clarity about America, featuring new material from an all-star roster of contributors, including Hanif Abdurraqib, Mahogany L. Browne, Wyatt Cenac, Kiese Laymon, Deesha Philyaw, Roy Wood Jr., and Nicola Yoon. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/black-lit-book-group/100001994907671547 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, performances, entertainment - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: BierWax - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: BierWax - **lat**: 40.6800203 - **long**: -73.96827619999999 - **full address**: BierWax, 556 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Black Lit Book Group - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ff7a3aa0546ca0085d7bd412995f894f767a1c8079c32d1ff13512b684e8a384-rimg-w1200-h600-dcdbdbbf-gmir.jpg?v=1785134693 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Black Lit Book Group being held? - **A:** Black Lit Book Group takes place on Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 18 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm at BierWax, 556 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Black Lit Book Group? - **A:** Black Lit Book Group is organized by Greenlight Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
