May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and we begin our celebration of that with R. O. Kwon, author of The Incendiaries. This conversation originally took place July 31, 2019 and was recorded live.
You can see R. O. Kwon live at the American Writers Museum on June 5, 2024! She will be here to read from and discuss her newest novel, Exhibit. She takes her investigations into desire, identity, and ambition to new heights in this novel, hailed by Pulitzer Prize-winner Andrew Sean Greer as "brisk, jolting, brilliant, beautiful, true" and with "the most exquisite prose in the bookstore." Books will be available for sale and Kwon will sign them following the program. Learn more here!
Kwon was also one of more than 30 writers featured in our special exhibit My America: Immigrant and Refugee Writers Today, which you can explore online at My-America.org.
We hope you enjoy entering the mind of a writer.
