ADAM MCKIBLE
Tuesday, February 10, 7:00 p.m.
Adam McKibble is an assistant professor of English at John Jay College in New York. While reading through 1925 and 1926 issues of The Messenger, the leading magazine of the Harlem Renaissance, he came across a series entitled "The Letters of Davy Carr," supposedly nonfiction observations of African American life in the nation's capital. McKibble realized that these "letters" were in fact a serial work of fiction, describing the life of the black middle class in Washington, D.C. during the height of the jazz age. Adam McKibble will read from and discuss the first publication of this 80 year old novel, now titled When Washington Was in Vogue, written by Edward Christopher Williams, a.k.a. Davy Carr
