# Event Details - **Event Name**: This Is Now With Angie Coiro: Casey Gerald - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Acclaimed writer Casey Gerald joins us to offer a groundbreaking work of joyous dissent and stunning vision.About this EventIn the spirit of American cultural prophecy from Malcolm Harris to Rebecca Solnit, acclaimed writer Casey Gerald (There Will Be No Miracles Here) joins us to offer a groundbreaking work of joyous dissent and stunning vision, a survival guide to a society in crisis.About the Book“A captivating and sharply insightful blend: deeply imaginative and unerringly practical, intimate and political, hopeful and loving yet unflinchingly honest. Casey Gerald asks us to choose us, which is―in fact―to choose freedom.”―Imani PerryMost afternoons for the past three years, Casey Gerald took a walk in his Texas neighborhood. He would pass the compound that Elon Musk was building; the burned-down Freedman’s church; the little house where he and his lover Jack had seen a shooting star. He knew the world was crumbling, but he didn’t fret. He had been promised: When it breaks, you’ll be ready.“There is a great unfolding going on,” Gerald writes, “and all the clues for what’s to come are planted in the people.” In this quietly redemptive and lyrical book, Gerald shares his map for finding those clues, finding each other, and finding our way out of this dark and wearied time. On the other side of No, Gerald insists, there is a Yes: an embrace of what we really want, what we might finally claim once we refuse.Calling forth a kaleidoscopic cast, from Odysseus to D’Angelo, Sun Tzu to Simone Biles, Black literati and desert mystics, Gerald implores us to take our power back and to remake the world together, on our terms. Written with Didion’s cool eye and Baldwin’s unflinching urgency, and with the dark humor of a man who’s seen too much but still wants to see what’s next, The Great Refusal is a lifeline from the other side of ruin.ACCESSIBILITY: We never want cost to be a barrier to admission for our community.
