RSVP HERE!

The Asian American Writers’ Workshop presents a virtual book launch event for V. V. Ganeshananthan’s novel, Brotherless Night. A heartbreaking exploration of civil war and its’ impact on a Sri Lankan family, Ganeshananthan presents “an achingly moving portrait of a world full of turmoil, but one in which human connections and shared stories can teach us how—and as importantly, why—to survive.” (Celest Ng). V. V. will be joined in conversation by author Mira Jacob.

This event will be streamed on Zoom Webinar. Please RSVP to receive a Zoom link via email in advance of the event. The event will be uploaded to the AAWW YouTube channel the following week.
