SUMMARY:Mimi Yahn Reads from New Novel at Putney Library
DESCRIPTION:Mimi Yahn Reads from New Novel at Putney Library \nJoin longtime area resident and author\, Mimi Yahn (pen name Marie St. Pez)\, as she reads from her new novel\, Usurpation\, at Putney Public Library on Tuesday\, October 29th at 6:30pm.  \nSet in 1997 and spanning two cities — Portland\, Oregon\, and New Orleans — Usurpation tells an emotional story of hardship and redemptive love through the lives of two families and through the eyes of Kitty Feliz\, whose experiences as a Black lesbian lyrically link the personal with the political\, and the heart with the mind. When her best friend’s son is murdered\, Kitty uncovers a racist scheme involving drug gangs\, police corruption\, and gentrification through the deliberate blighting of Portland’s historically Black district\, Albina. \nMarie St. Pez is the nom de plume of Springfield resident Mimi Yahn\, a long-time writer of essays\, short stories\, investigative articles\, and political blogs. Yahn lived in New Orleans and Portland\, Oregon\, during the 1990s and witnessed the impact of urban renewal schemes on Black communities in both cities and the origins of gentrification throughout Portland’s historically Black district\, Albina. \nPutney Public Library is located at 55 Main St in Putney\, VT. This event is free and open to the public.
