bookmark: Palace Council’s Stephen Carter @ Hue-Man Bookstore

Mystery and Murder Set in Harlem 

Stephen Carter’s latest novel, Palace Council immerses readers in the world of Harlem’s elite circa the 1950s:

“The Garland family appeared in Carter’s first novel, “The Emperor of Ocean Park,” and in this new one its members help anchor his depiction of various Harlem hierarchies, both social (presided over by the formidably snobbish matrons Congressman Adam Clayton Powell calls the “czarinas”) and intellectual. This terrain provides far and away the most absorbing material…”

Excerpted from the New York Times‘ book review, “A Conspiracy So Immense.”

 

Stephen Carter will be at Hue-Man Bookstore on Thursday, August 21 @ 6:00 p.m.
