National Book Award–honored authors Tess Gunty (The Rabbit Hutch, 2022 Fiction Winner) and Tommy Orange (There There, 2018 Fiction Longlist) follow a large cast of characters in their novels—all affected in different ways by class, gender, and their environment. Join the authors for a discussion about interwoven storytelling that builds toward a more connected, collective future.

Moderated by Dr. Shane Doyle, a Montana-based scholar, writer, performing artist, and community advocate.

Presented in partnership with Elk River Arts & Lectures.
