EVENT WEBSITE

Each writer will read a little from her book, followed by a conversation on the timely topic of immigrant fiction in America. What does it mean to write fiction about immigrants or be immigrants or children of immigrants in the current political climate? What important need do immigrant voices in contemporary American literature fill? How can we move beyond borders and hyphens when we talk about contemporary literature?
