From Bangkok to Bogotá: two debut novelists in conversation

 

 

Debut Novelists:
Pitchaya Sudbanthad & Ingrid Rojas Contreras

Monday, July 15

City of Asylum @ Alphabet City
40 W. North Avenue

What do two debut authors from opposite sides of the world have in common? How is their work informed by culture, family narratives, secrets, and tradition?  Debut novelists Pitchaya Sudbanthad and Ingrid Rojas Contreras visit City of Asylum to explore these very questions. The authors will read, discuss, and take questions from the audience at this celebration of cross-cultural stories and the thrill of publishing a first novel! 

 

 

Pitchaya Sudbanthad is a New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Fellow in Fiction. His debut novel, Bangkok Wakes to Rain, was published in February 2019 by Riverhead (US) and Sceptre (UK).

 

Ingrid Rojas Contreras was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. Her debut novel, Fruit of the Drunken Tree, was the California Book Award Silver Medal Winner and a New York Times Editor's Choice. She is working on a family memoir about her grandfather, a curandero from Colombia who it was said had the power to move clouds.
