 Hi, I'm Kenan Norris, novelist, essayist, educator, and Bay Area resident. I'm most recently the author of the novel The Confession of Copeland Cain, which is set in a near future East Oakland, California. The novel takes on many pressing issues that, unfortunately, I think, are not only part of our present, but will be part of our future from environmental injustice to mass incarceration and gentrification. I'm very, very much looking forward to bringing the book to San Francisco Public Library and talking about it in our African American Center here, and our event, which will be held on November 6th, is in conjunction with the Museum of the African Diaspora. You can find my book both here at the SF Public Library and also at Moad, as well as at Bay Area Bookstores. I'm from here to Oakland all the way out to San Jose, which is where I teach at San Jose State University. Kind of put that plug in there as well. All right, so thank you all for supporting libraries, independent bookstores, small publishers like The Publisher of Confession of Copeland Cain, Named Press, and little old authors like me. Peace.
