In this discussion between Pulitzer Prize-winner Viet Thanh Nguyen and best-selling author Thrity Umrigar, we will explore the risks of creativity and creation, whether it is experimenting with a new genre or form, engaging personal or political material, fighting to dismantle systems of oppression, or co-writing a children’s book with your son. From Viet Thanh Nguyen’s most recent work, The Committed, to Thrity Umrigar’s forthcoming novel Honor, to both authors’ published children’s books, we will explore the intersections of their writing and learn why creativity is a risk we should take.

Details: Creative Risks takes place Friday, July 23 from 7-8pm ET remotely through Zoom.
Zoom Info: Register for the event and Lit Cleveland will send you an invitation and instructions on how to attend via Zoom.
