Livestreamed across continents,
Eugenia Kim and
Alice Stephens discuss their Korean roots and the ways in which identity and personal experience have shaped their latest novels. Kim’s
The Kinship of Secrets tells the story of two sisters separated by half a world and the Korean War, and how their vastly different upbringings affect their identities and their family ties. In Stephens’ debut novel
Famous Adopted People, two friends, both Korean adoptees of white parents, search for the answers to their past and must grapple with what their identity means to them. This event is in partnership with Mason Korea’s Sondong campus and will be livestreamed.
