X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us to discuss "<a href="https://dbrl.
 bibliocommons.com/item/show/809383018">Deacon King Kong</a>" by James McBr
 ide\, the <em>One Read</em> runner-up book. This exuberant work of histori
 cal fiction follows the fate of a largely Black and Latinx cast of charact
 ers living in and around a New York housing project in the fall of 1969 af
 ter a hard-drinking church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the cou
 rtyard and &ndash\; in front of everyone &ndash\; shoots the ear off of th
 e local drug dealer. This event brings all elements of the neighborhood in
 to Sportcoat&rsquo\;s orbit\, from the Five Ends Baptist Church members an
 d a white policeman trying to protect the old man\, to mob bosses and drug
  kingpins seeking revenge. Throw in a bit of romance\, mystery and a hidde
 n treasure\, and you&rsquo\;ve got a romp of a novel that paints a vivid p
 ortrait of a community undergoing enormous change.</p>\n<p>Adults.</p>\n<p
