Do you ever feel like your life is in a constant state of crisis? Do you feel like, nevertheless, you persist? Listen to readings from three thrilling experimental novelists whose new books are about pushing forward against life-killing forces, whether it’s capitalism, the political status quo, or more existential threats like grief and suicide. Novelists Patty Yumi Cottrell, Eugene Lim, and Anelise Chen all navigate the universe of crisis—all with a touch of bleak literary experimentation that would make Samuel Beckett proud! Moderated by poet Lisa Chen.
