Books & Books is partnering with the Coral Gables Art Cinema to pay tribute to the memory of trailblazing literary icon Toni Morrison. Join us on Saturday, September 14 for a special screening of Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ documentary meditation on her life, her works and the powerful themes she has confronted throughout her literary career. After the screening, National Book Award finalist Edwidge Danticat will reflect on receiving “the ancestral blessings” of her mentor.

The first 20 people who purchase a copy of The Source of Self-Regard on our website and enter the code “TICKET” into the comment field will receive a free ticket to the screening.
