Pulitzer Prize-winning author, @viet.thanh.nguyen.writer and @aulamfa’s very own @cathylinhche share readings from their work and discuss their experience of democracy as immigrant writers whose work engages vistas of American democracy, especially as Vietnamese Americans amidst the legacy and representations of the Vietnam War. A Q&A followed the readings and conversation. This event was hosted in collaboration with @aulamfa.
In this clip, Cathy Linh Che reads “Becoming Ghost,” a poem that documents her parents’ experiences as refugees who escaped the Vietnam War.
