Fiction

Alternate Realities

In Ed Park’s Same Bed Different Dreams, fiction and reality blur across time in an alternate history of Korea. Marie-Helene Bertino’s Beautyland follows Adina as she reports on humanity to her extraterrestrial relatives. This Great Hemisphere by Mateo Askaripour brings us 500 years into the future where the world is divided into the Invisibles and Dominant Population. Join these authors for a conversation about alternate worlds, narrative, and speculative writing. Moderated by Lisa Lucas, publishing professional.
