What can novels tell us about the confrontation between freedom and autocracy? What does heroism look like in our daily lives—at home and in the streets—and how are acts of resistance remembered?
Join us for a conversation with three authors whose books examine clashes, from China to Hong Kong to Russia, and their aftermath, searching for answers to riddles of our politicized times: Ha Jin’s Looking for Tank Man, Gigi L. Leung’s Everyday Movement (tr. Jennifer Feeley), and Svetlana Satchkova’s The Undead: A Novel of Modern Russia.
Moderated by Gloria J. Browne-Marshall, author of A Protest History of the United States, this discussion will surface the costs and necessities of dissent.
