Aleksander Hemon: Works in Progress

Aleksandar Hemon describes his next novel, "The Making of Zombie Wars," as “a roller coaster ride of violence and sex.” It’s going to be funny, too. Fresh off his essay collection "The Book of My Lives" and a memorable January CHF conversation with Gary Shteyngart, the MacArthur Fellow and member of Chicago literary royalty gives us a much-anticipated preview. He is joined in conversation by journalist and critic Laura Pearson.
