Book Launch Event – Joshua Gidding

Join us for a book launch event to celebrate the release of Joshua Giddings new book Old White Man Writing.

The event will take place on Friday, April 4 from 6:00 – 9:00PM at Ki Smith Gallery in New York. The event is free and open to the public. There will be a reading, signing, discussion, and complimentary food and drinks. Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of the book.

In this entertaining, literary, and subversive memoir, seventy-year-old writer Joshua Gidding grapples with the social and cultural changes in twenty-first-century America. In the process of re-evaluating his privileged background, the author explores his relationships with some of the people of color in his life, and begins to address the white guilt and complex feelings arising from an uneasy racial conscience. Leaning politically to the left of center, he nevertheless takes a nuanced approach to some of the most topical, timely issues of our age. Balancing themes of racism, entitlement, exceptionalism, bereavement, and biography, his approach throughout remains humorous and self-deprecating.
