Literary Conversation, Upcoming

Campus novels invite readers into worlds of manicured quads and ivory towers that may, at first, seem idyllic. But beneath the surface, these stories are roiling with explorations of race, class, gender, coming-of-age, and ambition. Join celebrated authors Xochitl Gonzalez, Sonora Jha, and Rebecca Makkai in a conversation moderated by Lupita Aquino about the ways their latest books lean into–and challenge–the traditions of the campus novel.
