Harry Dodge, author of MY METEORITE (Penguin Books), will be in conversation with Fred Moten at a virtual event hosted by McNally Jackson via Zoom on Thursday, October 22 at 7:00 pm (ET).

Structured around a series of formative, formidable coincidences in Harry Dodge’s life, MY METEORITE journeys with stylistic bravura from Barthes to Blade Runner, from punk to Pale Fire. It is a wild, incandescent book that creates a literary universe of its own. Blending the personal and the philosophical, the raw and the surreal, the transgressive and the heartbreaking, Dodge revitalizes our world, illuminating the magic just under the surface of daily life.
