Phil Klay will discuss his new novel, MISSIONAIRIES (Penguin Press), in conversation with author Marlon James at a Books Are Magic virtual event via Zoom on Wednesday, October 7 at 7:00 pm (ET).
Drawing on six years of research in America and Colombia into the effects of the modern way of war on regular people, Klay has written a novel of extraordinary suspense infused with geopolitical sophistication and storytelling instincts that are second to none. Missionaries is a window not only into modern war, but into the individual lives that go on long after the drones have left the skies.
