Chang-rae Lee: 2015 Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize for Fiction

Описание: This program is presented in partnership with the Chicago Tribune’s Printers Row series.

Chang-rae Lee has always been preoccupied with belonging. Beginning with his debut, "Native Speaker," and continuing with such extraordinary novels as "The Surrendered" and "A Gesture Life," he has explored the many ways one might negotiate the borders of country, culture, and community. With his latest, he leaves behind familiar landscapes and creates a world from scratch. "On Such a Full Sea" does what all of the best dystopic novels do – provides a space to consider how our current choices may propel us toward an uncertain, disheartening future. As the winner of this year’s Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize for Fiction, Lee will share his perspective on writing and reading, and why storytelling remains a powerful tool for thinking about how we live with others. Jennifer Day joins him for a conversation.
