Asian American Writers Workshop | The Past Is Not for Living In with Gish Jen & Meng Jin @AAWWNYC | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Join the Asian American Writers’ Workshop for our first event of the new year: a joint paperback launch of Gish Jen’s THE RESISTERS and Meng Jin’s LITTLE GODS. These two novels, released in early 2020, sketch out a dystopian near future that takes aim at several current catastrophes, and examine history, absence, and the passage of time as filtered through the individual immigrant experience. Together, these works break new ground for the dystopian and immigrant novels, and we hope you will join us as Gish and Meng discuss their work and craft.
