Rock 'n' Read: 99 Problems Finding the 1: A Love Story (Sort of) — G'Ra Asim ft Uppity
G’Ra Asim reads from his essay collection, drawing on “pop music, TV, literature, internet culture, Black feminist thought” and his romantic misadventures to examine what blocks lasting connection. His band Uppity, whose EP Code Ditching is a companion to the book, performs between reading and conversation. Asim teaches English at Washington University in St. Louis; his debut, Boyz n the Void, was a Kirkus best nonfiction book of 2021.
