Great Literature Discussion: The Boat by Nam Le, Stories 1-4 (Online)
February 2, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
With a jaw-dropping versatility of voice and point of view, The Boat is an extraordinary work of fiction that guides us to the heart of what it means to be human. The seven stories take us across the globe, from the slums of Colombia to Iowa City; from the streets of Tehran to a foundering vessel in the South China Sea.
Among many accolades this book won Australian author Nam Le the 2008 Dylan Thomas Prize, the world’s top cash prize for young writers. Michiko Kakutani (New York Times) called the opening story “a singular masterpiece.”
