Every year, five National Book Award Finalists select one promising writer each to recognize at the beginning of National Book Awards week in November; each Honoree is under 35 and has published one novel or short story collection. Previous honorees include Valeria Luiselli, ZZ Packer, Karen Russell, Angela Flournoy, Phil Klay, and Yaa Gyasi.

Tonight features 4 of the 5 Under 35 honorees in Miami for an evening of readings with Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Hannah Lillith Assadi, Lydia Kiesling, and Moriel Rothman-Zecher.

The evening will be moderated by Anna Dobben.
