Namwali Serpell presents On Morrison, in conversation with Vinson Cunningham (McNally Jackson Book Talk)

Namwali Serpell presents On Morrison, in conversation with Vinson Cunningham (McNally Jackson Book Talk)

Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate and one of our most beloved writers, has inspired generations of readers. But her artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona, perhaps because, as Namwali Serpell puts it, “she is our only truly canonical black female writer—and her work is highly complex.” In On Morrison, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning writer and a professor who teaches a course on Morrison to illuminate her masterful experiments with literary form.

New York City’s housing challenges are among the most complex in the nation. This panel will unpack Zohran Mamdani’s ambitious housing platform, from freezing rent and building deeply affordable homes to cracking down on predatory landlords and ending deed theft. Experts in housing policy, tenant organizing, and real estate development will assess what it would take to turn these ideas into reality, and what structural changes are needed to make housing in New York truly stable and fair.
