AAWWTV: R.O. Kwon in Conversation with Alexander Chee

Dark, glittering, and obsessive ― can new love feel the same as new faith? Part fractured love story, campus novel, and thriller turned cult lit, R.O. Kwon’s haunting debut novel The Incendiaries ― named one of the most anticipated fiction debuts of the year by the New York Times and the Millions ― follows the journey of a Korean American college student under the spell of grief, a new love and a classmate who lures her to into acts of domestic terrorism by a Christian cult tied to North Korea. Join us for a special launch event and celebration of the book with R.O. and How to Write an Autobiographical Novel author Alexander Chee, who will interview her about the book, the writing process, and grappling with religion and loss.
