Jason Reynolds Transcends the Room with New Novel “Twenty-One Seconds From Now…a Love Story”.
Sitting alone in the front of a packed crowd at Vroman's Bookstore, @vromansbookstore Reynolds announced there would be no moderator, or any special guest, he would do as he's always done and address the audience directly to discuss his latest book "Twenty-Four Seconds from Now...a Love Story."
What unfolded was more than a talk--it was a performance, perhaps art would be a better description.
Reynolds shared both personal and entertaining stories. Including tales of his first crush and shed light on the pervasive issue: the lack of concern and education young men face when it comes to understanding sex. He noted how people had a tough time saying the word let alone talking about the subject.
One young man noted that, Reynold's work helped him feel seen and that's a good thing.
