A transcendent debut novel about family, love, and belonging, set against the backdrops of New York City and a historical leprosarium in 1950s Louisiana, Wendy Chin-Tanner's debut novel King of the Armadillos follows one young man’s quest to not only survive, but live a full and vibrant life.
Chin-Tanner will discuss themes of immigration, disease stigma, the intersections of race, class, and gender, the artist's journey, non-traditional families, and trauma and recovery with writer, commentator, and feminist activist Jamia Wilson.
