Whether it’s creating an alter-ego for yourself in an online role-playing game, traversing the streets of New York to film a mockumentary about Ping-Pong, letting go of perfectionism in the wake of major tragedy, or entering into an admittedly hare-brained love coaching scheme, we often go to great lengths to contend with the expectations of us set by others and ourselves. Join authors Alexene Farol Follmuth (Twelfth Knight), Ali Novak (My Life with the Walter Boys), and Andrew Yang (The Ping-Pong Queen of Chinatown) as they discuss how their teen characters navigate love, friendship, and coming into one’s own in the modern age. Moderated by Farah Naz Rishi (It All Comes Back to You).
