Homeland: Chelsea Bieker & Morgan Talty
General Admission Pass required for entry
New story collections of homeland, birthplace, and identity. Moderated by John Freeman (editor, The Penguin Book of the Modern American Short Story).
From acclaimed author Chelsea Bieker, “a pitch-perfect ventriloquist of extraordinary talent and ferocity” (T Kira Madden), comes Heartbroke, a defining book of Californian stories where everyone is seeking or sabotaging love. Set in a Native community in Maine, Night of the Living Rez is a riveting debut collection from Morgan Talty about what it means to be Penobscot in the twenty-first century and what it means to live, to survive, and to persevere after tragedy.
