An Evening With Ayad Akhtar & Phil Klay

LIVE! Event starts Friday, November 20 @ 8 p.m.

Part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel, Pulitzer Prize winner Ayad Akhtar‘s Homeland Elegies attempts to make sense of a post-9/11 country in which the gods of finance rule, debt has ruined countless lives, and immigrants live in fear. He’s speaking with Iraq war veteran and National Book Award winner Phil Klay, whose novel Missionaries provides a window into modern war and the aftermath of that violence on people’s lives once the drones are gone.
