STAKING A CLAIM: DEBUT NOVELISTS

SUNDAY, MARCH 27

1 – 2:15 PM—Literary Discussion 

How do you create a sense of belonging in a strange place, a new home, a changed earth? In four thrilling new novels, characters combat climate change, racism, displacement, and supernatural forces to make space for themselves and their families. Join debut novelists Olivia Clare Friedman, author of Here Lies; Megan Giddings, author of Lakewood; Alex Jennings, author of The Ballad of Perilous Graves; and Eric Nguyen, author of Things We Lost in the Water as they discuss building fictional worlds and real-life community. Moderated by C. Morgan Babst, author of The Floating World.
