American Fiction is the last of five films to be presented between September 2024 and March 2025 as part of the discussion series, LET’S TALK ABOUT IT (LTAI) – SOUTHERN NOVELS ON PAGE AND SCREEN. With discussions led by USC-Aiken humanities scholars, LTAI is more than your average book club! Participants will read, watch, and then compare the novels to their film adaptations.

This 2023 film is based on the novel Erasure by Percival Everett. Actors featured include: Jeffery Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown.

“A novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from Black entertainment uses a pen name to write a book that propels him into the heart of the hypocrisy and madness he claims to disdain.”

Let’s Talk About It (LTAI) is intended for ages 18 and older
This program is made possible with a grant from SC Humanities

Book registration begins August 12 at the 2nd floor Reference desk
