On Saturday, August 22, Nam Le kicks off the paperback publication of The Boat, his short story collection, with an appearance at the Sun Valley Writer’s Conference in Ketchum, Idaho. He’ll be giving a talk called “Can Good Writing Redeem Bad Faith? Fiction and Historical Trauma,” which promises to be nothing short of compelling.
If you can’t wait that long, read an interview with the author here to learn more about his thoughts on writing, “ethnic literature” and the notion of place.
