Novelist James Hannaham, whose “Delicious Foods” received high praise and many honors including the 2016 Pen/Faulkner Award For Fiction and recognition as a Best Book of the Year by NPR and Kirkus, will read from his work at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 30, at Bates College in the lounge at Chase Hall, 56 Campus Ave., Lewiston. About “Delicious Foods,” Ron Charles of the The Washington Post said “[A] sensational new novel about the tenacity of racism and its bizarre permutations… bounce[s] off the page with the sharpest, wittiest, most unsettling cultural criticism I’ve read in years… Hannaham is a propulsive storyteller… the whole story speeds through the dark… never takes its foot off the gas… An archetypal tale of American struggle… Reminiscent of Edward P. Jones’s “The Known World,” [A] fantastically creative performance… [An] insightful and ultimately tender novel… You will devour this book.” A book sale and signing will follow.
