Join Daniel Tam-Claiborne ’14, a multiracial writer, multimedia producer, and nonprofit director, for a reading and conversation about his debut novel, Transplants, a finalist for the 2023 PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction. The novel follows two young women—Lin, a Chinese university student navigating isolation and scrutiny on a rural campus, and Liz, a Chinese American teacher grappling with grief and questions of identity—who form an unlikely friendship across borders.

Drawing on his five years living and working in Greater China, Tam-Claiborne centers his work around identity, belonging, and the intersections of Asian American and transnational experience, while also addressing issues of migration, race, and power.
