About the Event:

Renowned author Aleksandar Hemon joins us for a discussion on The World and All That It Holds, his sweeping and tender new novel. Hemon has a deep connection to storytelling and history and comes to the stage for a far-reaching conversation about cultural displacement, ethnic conflict, and his latest work—a masterpiece of the epic and the intimate. The conversation is led by Mark Bazer of The Interview Show.

This program is presented in partnership with CHIRP Radio.
