Two masters of their craft, Tahmima Anam and Balsam Karam, weave stories of resistance and solidarity in their latest novels. In Anam’s Uprising, Kusum is brought to an island of subjugated women, sparking rebellion when she refuses to yield to power. In Karam’s Event Horizon, Milde must choose between execution or an experimental space mission to an uncharted black hole. Join these bold writers discussing how fiction can help us imagine alternative ways to live. Chaired by Rachelle Atalla.
