Ed Pavlić will read from Another Kind of Madness at Prairie Lights.
“Ed Pavlić’s Another Kind of Madness is a full-bodied literary achievement bustling with sweat, regret, and sound. Pavlić’s narrative audacity and descriptive skill make every sentence and scene in Another Kind of Madness equal parts sorrow song, blues, funk, and of course jazz … [A] new kind of novel that is as at once wholly innovative and in deep conversation with so many Black American literary traditions.”―Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy
Ed Pavlić is author of seven collections of poems and two critical books. His most recent works are Who Can Afford to Improvise?: James Baldwin and Black Music, the Lyric, and the Listener, and Let’s Let That Are Not Yet: Inferno.

Ed Pavlić
Ed Pavlić is the author of Call It in the Air and Visiting Hours at the Color Line, as well as a novel, Another Kind of Madness.
A stirring novel tuned to the clash between soul music’s vision of our essential responsibility to each other and a world that breaks us down and tears us apart.
