Adult Book Club: “Colored Television” by Danzy Senna
2025-05-02 15:00 - 16:00 | Southeast Steuben County Library, 300 Nasser Civic Center Plaza, Corning, NY, 14830
This month’s book will be Colored Television by Danzy Senna (287pages).
About the book: Jane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane’s sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel; finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.
But like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a “real writer,” and together they begin to develop “the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies.” Things finally seem to be going right for Jane—until they go terribly wrong.
About the Author: Danzy Senna is the bestselling author of six previous books, including Caucasia, New People, and most recently Colored Television. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Vogue, and The New York Times. The recipient of numerous awards and honors, she teaches writing at the University of Southern California.
The Adult Book Club meets in-person at the Library on the second Friday of each month (this month is an exception). If you have questions about the Book Club, please email Linda Reimer: reimerl@stls.org
Check our calendar for future dates and book selections.
