The novel is set in the 1990s in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Bombay, India. The story follows James Monroe, who embodies both the bravado and the debilitating insecurities of the modern American male. Monroe’s journey into authenticity results in a series of failed relationships that reveal the dark, enigmatic recesses of his complex personality and eventually land him in a prison in Bombay, according to a news release from the library.

Books will be available for purchase at the event. More details about this and other library programs can be found at librarycamden.org.
