Event Date
The Glint of Light by Clarence Major
Mark Smith, is a sensitive thirty-seven-year-old environmental scientist of
mixed race. He tries to come to terms with his mother’s painful death as he
goes through the stages of grief. Mark is also reassessing his relationship with
his gay twin sister, Maria, a lawyer. After several failed relationships with
women in college, Mark, while at his mother’s funeral in Chicago, reconnects
with his high school girlfriend, Christy, an artist who paints only self-portraits.
He now believes he has finally found true and lasting love, but trouble is
brewing. Pulling focus on the cumulative unease and random violence that has
gripped American life in recent years, The Glint of Light proves why Clarence
Major is one of America’s most beloved novelists.
Professor Major will be joining us on this in-person discussion. He has also agreed to sign books for people who comes to this event. We will be giving a free book to each of the first 15 people to sign up. Books can be picked up ahead of time for those who wants a physical copy to read.
