These eight “long-ish” stories are funny, readable honest, and self-aware, inviting comparisons to David Foster Wallace and Ben Lerner. Jackson’s work has been praised by fellow writers including Leslie Jamison, who writes, “Greg Jackson’s *Prodigals*is that rare treat: a narrative inquiry into the nature of narrative that is neither tedious nor tired, that takes itself just seriously enough. His lyric virtuosity is thrilling, his sensibility acute and nuanced, but it was something deeper than either of these things that ultimately compelled me in these stories: It was a genuine sense of searching — without irony or apology, with fierce intelligence — for what might constitute a meaningful life.” Jackson talks with Jamison (author of the acclaimed essay collection *The Empathy Exams*) at tonight’s book launch, followed by a wine reception. **How Much:** FREE, with books for sale ![Photo by Laura Gilmore.](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Screen-Shot-2015-04-02-at-5.43.22-PM.png) Photo by [Laura Gilmore](https://www.flickr.com/photos/genbug/5524383587/?ref=bklyner.com). **WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2** **Drop-in Computer Class** **When:** Wednesday, March 2 at 1pm **Where:** Clinton Hill Library at 380 Washington Avenue **What:** Do you have a specific question about how to use computers or find your way around the Internet?

The brutal murder begged the question: How this could happen? Once again, a “normal boy” like Brandon had taken a gun into a school and killed another student in cold blood. But others, still, wondered: How could this not happen? In many ways this was a “perfect storm” of race, poverty, gun violence, and gender identity fueled by ignorance and fear. In *A Murder Over A Girl*, Corbett, a leading expert on gender and masculinity, details the case, and all the social issues still littering the American landscape eight years later. Playwright and activist Tony Kushner, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Medal of Arts, calls Corbett’s book “magnificent… Devastating and thrilling and profound and enraging.” Corbett and Kushner speak about the book and the surrounding issues on stage at St. Joseph’s College.
