Event Date
UC Riverside's Department of English and Center for Ideas and Society is hosting "Black Horror Salon: a Literary Conversation". The conventional horror tropes of the return of the repressed and of the monster do not adhere to black life which has been characterized by ever present terror and the misnaming of the monster. Through this convocation of dynamic writers, theorists, and artists, the conversation will touch upon issues of craft as well as of how to live blackly, attuned to the unique yet common experience of what John Jennings has called “the Black gothic.” Speakers include: Kiese Laymon, Lisa B. Thompson, John Jennings, Therí A. Pickens, André Carrington, and Courtney R. Baker.
