Bios & Bookmarks: Myriam J. A. Chancy

Bios & Bookmarks: Myriam J. A. Chancy

A weekly session featuring readings by, and conversations with, popular authors.

In our penultimate episode of Bios & Bookmarks Season 6, we journey to Haiti, in Myriam J. A. Chancy’s new novel What Storm, What Thunder (Tin House Books). Edwidge Danticat calls this narrative navigation of the 2010 Haitian earthquake “a striking and formidable novel by one of our most brilliant writers and storytellers”.We’re eager to uncover the novel’s multiple truths, and are delighted that Chancy will be in conversation with guest host, reviewer & editor Akilah White.

“At Home the Green Remains”, this season’s theme of Bios & Bookmarks, explores the relationships Caribbean writers map between their writing and our regional ecology.
