National Book Award-winning novelist Susan Choi, MFA ’95, returns to Cornell for a virtual reading on Thursday, April 22 at 7 p.m. Registration is required for this free and open to the public event. Susan Choi and her work have been praised by many. Joan Didion describes her as “A natural—a writer whose intelligence and historical awareness effortlessly serve a breathtaking narrative ability.” Jennifer Egan says Choi’s work is “Deeply impressive, confident… astute, psychologically persuasive.” Jhumpa Lahiri says Choi writes “with uncompromising grace and mastery.” Choi plans to read from her short story “Flashlight.” The reading will be followed by conversation and a live Q&A, moderated by Professor and Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow Stephanie Vaughn. “Flashlight” was published in The New Yorker and is available to read online. The Department of Literatures in English invites the public to take advantage of this special opportunity to read the story in advance. Attendees will have a chance to ask Choi questions about her work and inspiration.
