The American Dream: Whose Myth? Whose Reality?

Hosted by the Dayton Literary Peace Prize
2016 Fiction winner and Pulitzer Prize Board member Viet Thanh Nguyen. (University of Southern California)

More than a book club, Turn the Page becomes an agent for change, an evolution in thought brought about by a conversation with authors who have their fingers on the pulse of history, so therefore insight in the human heart. Each segment will bring two of our winning authors together to discuss a subject their works have in common. Gilbert King, a DLPP Honorary Advisory Board member, the 2013 DLPP Runner-up for "The Devil in the Grove" and the Pulitzer Prize winner for the same title, will moderate the segments.

The first Turn the Page event, The American Dream: Whose myth? Whose Reality?, will feature a conversation between Min Jin Lee, the 2018 Fiction Runner-up for "Pachinko" and Viet Thanh Nguyen, the 2016 Fiction Winner for "The Sympathizer" on October 1, 2020 7:00 - 8:30 PM via Zoom. A Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants.
