We are thrilled that our 2025 BoBi Honoree Marlon James is getting all the recognition he deserves as a truly great writer of our time. He has been a wonderful and generous friend to the Festival, and we are overjoyed to have him back in two programs this year on September 27th in Downtown Brooklyn.

This Masterpiece Is the Novel of the Decade, if Not the Century

Marlon James’s story of gay experience and murderous homophobia in Jamaica is a maximalist’s banquet — and the Booker Prize winner’s finest book yet.
