From Mumbai to Tenochtitlan—the ancient capital of the Aztec empire—and a fictional city called Nevers; disparate landscapes come to life in the voices of their inhabitants. In their latest books, authors Devika Rege (Quarterlife), Álvaro Enrigue (You Dreamed of Empires, trans Natasha Wimmer), and Dorothy Tse (Owlish, trans Natascha Bruce) track the collision of worlds between outsiders and city dwellers while probing the internal contradictions that shape the individual—and in turn, their relationship to their surroundings and its people. Moderated by Dennis Zhou, New Yorker Fiction editor.
