SUMMARY:Building a Memoir’s Global World for an American Audience
DESCRIPTION:Location: Boston Public Library - Orientation Room (700 Boyls
 ton Street\, Boston\, MA 02116). Ends 11:00 AM. As our nation grapples w
 ith far-reaching anti-immigrant sentiment\, this session takes up questi
 ons about how to engage U.S. readers on the subject of people often othe
 red in American culture. Moderated by Alexis Chen Johnson\, the panel fe
 atures memoirists whose stories span three centuries and countries from 
 Colombia to China: Xujun Eberlein (The River Drowns the Able Swimmer)\, 
 Lorena Hernández Leonard (Salsipuedes: Leave If You Can)\, and Margaret 
 Woo (The City of Jade Trees). How did they craft the landscapes of their
  stories for readers that may never experience those settings firsthand?
  How did they make the past legible for present-day readers? How did the
 y work with the diverse cultures and languages that shaped their persona
 l histories? Come to this session to learn how these writers shaped glob
 al narratives. Bookseller: Belmont Books\n\nMore info: https://bostonboo
