Finding Home: Elizabeth Miki Brina & Nadia Owusu Live
Run time: 75 minutes Two debut novelists read and discuss their memoirs: Elizabeth Miki Brina's debut novel Speak, Okinawa beautifully combs a lifetime of memory, love, loss, the connections that bind us to one another, and is one of the most anticipated memoirs of 2021. A searing, deeply candid story about a young woman's journey to understand her complicated parents and her own, fraught cultural heritage. Aftershocks is a deeply felt memoir from Whiting Award–winner Nadia Owusu about the push and pull of belonging, the seismic emotional toll of family secrets, and the heart it takes to pull through. Both novelists will discuss their works exploring their common themes of migrations, identity, and feeling out of place in the US in a live discussion and audience Q&A.
