Leaving Home, Finding Home

Angie Cruz, Jonathan Escoffery, and Sarah Thankam Mathews have each written electrifying works of fiction centering the lives of immigrants. In a conversation with moderator Jung Yun, they will explore themes of family, community, intersecting identities, and survival. Join in as they discuss harnessing voice, form, and setting to ground their vibrant, singular stories. 

We will provide live captioning.

To ensure that our programs are widely accessible, tickets for all virtual PEN/Faulkner Literary Conversations are Pay-What-You-Will. We invite you to choose from our ticket price options. All are welcome.
