Viet Thanh Nguyen with Bilal Qureshi - To Save and to Destroy
Sun, Nov 16 at 5pm
Professor and Pulitzer-Prize winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen joins us to discuss his latest essay collection. Originally delivered as the prestigious Norton Lectures, To Save and to Destroy is a personal and sweeping meditation on the outsider in literary history and the role of the writer in the world at large. The essays proffer a new answer to a classic literary question: What does the outsider mean in literary writing?
Viet Thanh Nguyen will be in conversation with journalist and cultural critic Bilal Qureshi.
