Two Places at Once: Contemporary Fiction and the Shifting Nature of Home
An acclaimed group of authors with ties to the Midwest discuss writing fiction about characters who are pulled between sometimes vastly different places--on the map, between generations, and between supernatural forces. The conversation will cover what goes into writing characters of depth in contemporary fiction, including research, drawing from personal experience, and what the expatriate experience means in the present day when definitions of what we call home are ever evolving.
Speakers: Julie Iromuanya, Raul Palma, Amina Gautier, and Juan Martinez
