National Book Award–honored author and Kansas native Lucas Bessire (Running Out: In Search of Water on the High Plains, 2021 Nonfiction Finalist) and Megha Majumdar (A Burning, 2020 Fiction Longlist) examine how access and power operate in their work—from an environmental disaster in the US to a fictionalized nationalist uprising in India.

Moderated by Huascar Medina, Kansas Poet Laureate.

Presented in partnership with the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library.
