On December 8th, join Penguin Random House, Library Journal, and School Library Journal for our Winter 2022 virtual book and author festival, a free day-long event celebrating reading, authors, and librarians everywhere!
Penguin Random House Winter Book & Author Festival Thursday, December 8th, 2022 We are honored to announce our Afternoon Keynote speaker is Matthew Desmond, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Please join us as Mr. Desmond discusses his upcoming book, Poverty, by America (Crown). In this landmark work, Desmond reimagines the debate on poverty, making a new and bracing argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it. |
Matthew Desmond is the Maurice P. During Professor of Sociology at Princeton University and the founding director of the Eviction Lab. His last book, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award, among others. The recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, Desmond is also a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. |
