Writers@Grinnell: Belinda Tang and Ada Zhang
GCMoA and Writers@Grinnell welcome Belinda Tang and Ada Zhang to read from their debut books: A Map for the Missing and The Sorrows of Others. These two deeply felt works, set between China and America, explore the experience of being an outsider — as immigrants, as revolutionaries, and even, often, within their own families. A Q&A with the authors will follow the reading.
