Gish Jen, Dolen Perkins-Valdez, and Sue Halpern with Regina Marler - Family Legacy in Fiction
Mon, Nov 10 at 2pm
Acclaimed authors Sue Halpern, author of What We Leave Behind, Gish Jen, author of Bad Bad Girl, and Dolen-Perkins Valdez, author of Happyland convene for a conversation on family legacy in fiction. The work of all three writers conjures up worlds where their protagonists find themselves variously in opposition or in communion with family history and legacy. We explore how these writers think about fiction as a mode to shape identity across generations and cultures.
In conversation with New York Review of Books essayist and literary critic, Regina Marler.
