SUMMARY:SAVAGE CITY Book Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch party celebrating the release of SAVA
 GE CITY\, the newest novel from award-winning Michigan author Donald Levin
 . This will be a hybrid event\, held live for participants at Color | Ink 
 Studio in Hazel Park and simulcast over Zoom on Saturday\, February 5\, fr
 om 2-4 pm. This program is free and open to the public\, with registration
  required for both in-person and Zoom attendance.\n\nIn a lively\, interac
 tive conversation moderated by Andrew Lark\, Donald will talk about how he
  developed and researched the book\, where the ideas and characters came f
 rom\, and what its relevance is to today’s world. Along with a Q&amp\;A 
 session with in-person and online participants\, Donald will give a readin
 g from the book\, sign copies for in-person attendees\, and take orders fo
 r personalized copies from those attending over Zoom.\n\nSAVAGE CITY is a 
 historical novel set in Detroit in 1932. The fates of four people converge
  during a violent week of labor unrest in the bleakest year of the Great D
 epression. Detective Clarence Brown is one of a handful of Black officers 
 in the Detroit Police Department\, navigating a thicket of lies and racism
  to find the killer of a young Black man. Ben Rubin wants to move from pet
 ty crime into the ranks of Detroit’s notorious Purple Gang. Elizabeth Wa
 ters is a fiercely independent Communist sympathizer who has turned her ba
 ck on her privileged Grosse Pointe upbringing to join the workers’ fight
  for a piece of the American dream. Roscoe Grissom is an unemployed auto w
 orker enlisted by the fearsome Black Legion to sow terror as a night-ridin
 g emissary of hate.\n\nAgainst the backdrop of the bloody Ford Hunger Marc
 h\, events hurl these four into the center of a political storm that will 
 change them forever. SAVAGE CITY spellbindingly captures a key inflection 
 point in the creation of modern American life.\n\n“Layered\, powerful\, 
 and sharp . . . In a word\, brilliant. [Levin's] insightful ruminations on
  the nature of power\, bloodshed\, class and racial disparity\, fascism\, 
 the labor problems of the era\, and universal truth gives depth as well as
  substance to the affecting narrative.” –The Prairies Book Review\n\n\
