What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky

From the book description: “A woman desperate for a child weaves one out of hair, with unsettling results (‘Who Will Greet You at Home’). A disastrous night out shifts an American teenager and her Nigerian cousin onto uneasy common ground (‘Wild’). And in a world ravaged by flood and riven by class, experts have discovered how to ‘fix the equation of a person’—with rippling, unforeseen repercussions (‘What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky’). A dazzling accomplished debut collection, these stories explore the ties that bind parents and children, husbands and wives, lovers and friends to one another and to the places they call home.”

Ahead of the conversation with Lesley, you can purchase a copy of What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky at the Muscatine Community College Bookstore. The Musser Public Library also has a limited number of copies of the book to check out (patrons are encouraged to contact the Service Desk to check availability).

As part of the Global Education Program at the Stanley Center, we invite the community to join this conversation with Lesley Nneka Arimah either in person at the Merrill Hotel in Muscatine or online. Registration is required to attend, and either option is free and open to the public. The event is co-organized by Muscatine Community College and the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine.
