Join us at Pegasus Books Downtown on Thursday, May 30th at 7pm to celebrate the release of award-winning Oakland journalist Carvell Wallace's brilliant debut, Another Word for Love: A Memoir. Pegasus is thrilled to welcome Wallace for a reading and conversation with fellow Oakland writer and editor Nina Renata Aron.

Released this May from MCD Books (a division of Farrar, Straus, and Giroux), Another Word for Love is a transformative memoir that reimagines the conventions of love and posits a radical vision for healing. In Another Word for Love, Carvell Wallace excavates layers of his own history, situated in the struggles and beauty of growing up Black and queer in America. Copies of this can't-miss debut will be available for signing at the event.

Nina Renata Aron is a writer and editor based in Oakland. She is the author of Good Morning, Destroyer of Men's Souls, a memoir and cultural history of codependency, which was published by Crown in 2020. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Los Angeles Review of Books, The Guardian, Poetry Foundation, The New Republic, Jewish Currents, Elle, and elsewhere. She writes a newsletter about books called Dollface.
