Colson’s Family at Canio’s
Spill over onto the street for Colson, hometown hero. The eponymous crowd turned out in force to celebrate Whitehead’s new novel, a triumph. Decades past the excruciating teenage years, the author said in Q&A after the reading, afforded him sufficient distance to write about that one summer when Benji gets his braces off. The prose read poetically, sparks flying as the author illustrated the syntax of ‘8Os slang. Long lines of fans waited to get books signed; Colson, patient and gracious through it all. Welcome Home!
