What are the personal costs an immigrant must pay when leaving one land for another? And how are the scales weighted differently depending on social class and background? Three incisive recent novels—Weike Wang’s “Rental House,” Javier Fuentes’ “Countries of Origin,” and Dinaw Mengestu’s “Someone Like Us”—consider the immigrant experience from a variety of angles, and in vastly different locales, with an eye to its inherent disparities and pitfalls.
Join us for riveting discussion exploring how immigration and class intersect in America, moderated by writer and curator Anderson Tepper.
