Meet the author and learn about the true story
behind the hit series “Orange Is the New Black”
Sonoma State University's Associated Students Productions presents Piper Kerman, author "Orange is the New Black"
Meet the author and learn about the true story behind the hit television series "Orange in the New Black" at a lecture featuring Piper Kerman.
The event, featuring the author of “Orange Is the New Black,” is set for 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18 at Sonoma State University.
The story of a woman in her thirties sentenced to 15 months in prison (after being convicted of a decade old crime of transporting money for her drug dealing girlfriend) was adapted into an original Netflix series.
"Orange in the New Black," published in 2010, was heralded by the Washington Post as "the best TV show about prison ever made." The series was also lauded by Time's television critic James Poniewozik for "the stunningly matter-of-fact way it uses the prison to create one of TV’s most racially and sexually diverse–and as important, complex–dramas [and] contrasts the power and class dynamics inside the prison with those outside the prison."
In her memoir "Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Woman's Prison," Piper Kerman recounts the 15 months she spent in the Danbury Correctional Facility for a crime she had committed ten years prior as a very brief, very careless dalliance in the world of drug trafficking.
Compelling, moving and often hilarious, the stories of the women she met while in prison raise issues of friendship and family, mental illness, the odd cliques and codes of behavior, the role of religion, the uneasy relationship between prisoner and jailor, and the almost complete lack of guidance for life after prison.
