Author event with Colson Whitehead
Author talk with Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead at Fisk University.
Parnassus Books and Fisk University invite families to an evening celebrating acclaimed author Colson Whitehead and his latest novel, *Cool Machine*. This is a ticketed event where attendees will hear from Whitehead himself as he discusses his work. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Appleton Room of the historic Jubilee Hall on Fisk's campus.
Each ticket costs $33 and includes both general admission seating and a pre-signed copy of *Cool Machine*—no need to wait in a signing line afterward. Parking is convenient, with a dedicated lot directly behind Jubilee Hall off Jefferson Street, plus free street parking available nearby on Meharry Boulevard. This event works well for teen readers and adults who enjoy literary fiction, particularly those interested in Whitehead's celebrated storytelling. Tickets can be refunded up to one day before the event.
