Two of the most perceptive storytellers of our time, Leslie Jamison (The Recovering, The Empathy Exams) and Nam Le (The Boat) became close friends after meeting at the storied Iowa Writers’ Workshop many years ago.
In a fascinating conversation about their crafts, they come together with Sophie Black to compare genre-switching bodies of work that range from poetry to memoir and fiction in their search for truths about family, society, memory and identity.
Le’s newest release is the form-shattering and exquisitely crafted 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem, while Jamison returns with the blazing memoir Splinters, which explores finding joy when haunted by loss.
