A young man is arrested for murder in the Arkansas Delta, and his former English teacher returns to visit him. For the next seven months in county jail, they pore over novels, poems, and historical narrative by Frederick Douglass, C.S. Lewis, Marilynne Robinson, James Baldwin, W.S. Merwin and more.

The relentlessly honest book asks what we owe each other, how racism and poverty shape young people's fates, and what it means to live a good life.

READING WITH PATRICK, a memoir of race, inequality, and the power of literature, will be published in July 2017 by Random House.
