The Search for Belonging

Join Lorrie Moore and Kelly Link as they discuss their new novels about love and transformation. In I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home, Moore’s characters struggle to find their place within their families and their own lives as the narrative jumps between the present and past. The Book of Love follows Laura, Daniel, and Mo as they navigate their return from the dead to fill the gaps of what was lost as their personal desires and magical elements surround them. Whether rooted in reality or magical realism, these books convey how we all search for our place in the world—magical or not. Moderated by Brandon Taylor, author of The Late Americans.
