Author Visit: Rumaan Alam, Entitlement (2024)

Tuesday, September 16 • 11:00am-12:15pm • Zoom • Course 13513 • $30

In conversation with Anna Katsavos, Rumaan Alam will discuss his latest novel, Entitlement (2024). This fourth book by the author of the acclaimed Leave the World Behind (2020) has been named to many 2024 top book lists. Entitlement is about money, race, identity, privilege, class, and consumption. Set in pre-pandemic New York City, Brooke, the inexperienced Black female protagonist, is hired by an old white billionaire to manage his philanthropy. Brooke's proximity to extreme wealth soon triggers her metamorphosis as she succumbs to the seductions of money and greed.

RUMAAN ALAM is the author of four novels: Leave the World Behind (nominated for the 2020 National Book Award and adapted as a film by Netflix in 2023), That Kind of Mother, Rich and Pretty, and Entitlement. He also hosts two podcasts for Slate. He grew up in a suburb of Washington, D.C. and studied writing at Oberlin College.
