SUMMARY:The CAALS Bauder Lecture with Marlon James
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books is thrilled to partner with the Marygrove Conservancy’s Contemporary American Authors Lecture Series (CAALS) to welcome Marlon James\, winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize as the featured speaker for the 2026 Bauder Lecture live streaming event. \nMarlon James is a critically acclaimed Jamaican author whose work blends rich storytelling\, historical insight\, and imaginative scope. He is the recipient of the 2015 Man Booker Prize for his novel A Brief History of Seven Killings\, which was hailed for its epic narrative and unflinching exploration of Jamaica’s history. His other novels\, including Black Leopard\, Red Wolf and Moon Witch\, Spider King\, have cemented his reputation as a master of contemporary literature\, known for his bold narratives\, complex characters\, and lyrical prose. \nJames’s writing traverses genres—from historical fiction to fantasy—while always illuminating profound questions of identity\, power\, and human experience. His work has garnered international recognition and has been celebrated for its fearless creativity and depth. \nJoin us for an inspiring evening as Marlon James shares his insights\, experiences\, and reflections on the craft of writing as part of this signature Marygrove Conservancy lecture series. \nThis event is made possible by major sponsors\, including the Lillian and Don Bauder Endowment\, The Kresge Foundation\, the CME Group Foundation and Detroit PBS.
