SUMMARY:Kevin Nguyen: My Documents - Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Informed by real-life events\, from Japanese incarceration to the Vietnam War and modern-day immigrant detention\, Kevin Nguyen’s novel gives us a version of reality only a few degrees away from our own. Moving and finely attuned to both the brutalities and mundanities of racism\, Mỹ Documents is a strangely funny and touching portrait of American ambition\, fear\, and family. The story of the Nguyens is one of resilience and how we return to one another\, and to ourselves\, after tragedy. \nKevin Nguyen is the author of the novel New Waves. He is the features editor at The Verge and was previously a senior editor at GQ. He lives in Brooklyn. \nNguyen will replace the previously announced Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle author Angie Thomas\, who was originally scheduled for August 7. Her book\, Blackout\, remains a 2025 CLSC selection. \nLearn more with the event  below: https://www.chq.org/event/kevin-nguyen/
