Khary Lazarre-White, author, activist and attorney, is the cofounder of The Brotherhood /Sister Sol (Bro/Sis), a nationally renowned, Harlem-based youth services organization. His first novel is Passage (2018), the story of Warrior, a young man navigating the snowy winter streets of Harlem and Brooklyn in 1993. Susan Taylor, editor-in-chief of Essence, called it, “a gripping, relentless dive into the inner life of a young, African American male.” Oprah Winfrey said, “Khary is using his passion to uplift and inspire a next generation...,” and presented him with the Oprah Winfrey Angels’ Network “Use Your Life” Award. Reif Larsen’s first novel was The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet (2009), a New York Times bestseller that has been translated into 27 languages. The story of a 12-year-old boy genius and his train trip across America, the book was a finalist for the IndieBound Award, and was shortlisted for The Guardian First Book Award and James Tait Black Memorial Prize. French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie) adapted it as a prizewinning film in 2013. Larsen’s second novel, I Am Radar (2016), tells the tale of a blackskinned boy with magical powers born to stunned white parents in New Jersey in the 1970s. The L. A. Times called it, “Big, beautiful, ambitious… addictive and enchanting.”
