Lin\, a Chinese student who feels closer to her animals than to her peers\, and Liz\, a Chinese American English te acher grieving the sudden death of her mother\, each navigate hostility\, isolation\, and the uneasy boundaries of identity. After a betrayal leads to Lin’s expulsion\, their paths diverge and unexpectedly intertwine. Li n pursues a degree near Liz’s Ohio hometown\, while Liz searches for ans wers about her parents’ decision to leave China before she was born. As a global catastrophe heightens tensions between China and an increasingly fractured United States\, both women must confront the familiar and strang e within themselves\, and within each other. \nThe conversation will explo re the novel’s themes of displacement\, intimacy\, power\, and freedom\, as well as the possibilities that emerge when we open ourselves to lives and histories beyond our own. \nAbout Daniel Tam-Claiborne \nDaniel Tam-Cl aiborne is a multiracial writer\, multimedia producer\, and nonprofit dire ctor.

They’re each met with ho stility—Lin by her classmates\, who mock her for dating a white foreigne r\; Liz by her fellow English teachers\, who exploit their privilege—and forge an unlikely friendship. \nAfter a startling betrayal that results i n Lin’s expulsion\, they swap places. Lin becomes convinced to pursue he r degree at a community college near Liz’s Ohio hometown\, while Liz sea rches for answers as to what drove her parents to leave China before she w as born. But when a global catastrophe deepens the fissures between modern -day China and an increasingly fractured United States\, Lin and Liz—far from home and estranged from themselves—are forced to confront both the familiar and the strange in each other. \nUnspooling over the course of a single extraordinary year in our not-yet-distant past and in small towns from Dandong to Deadwood\, Transplants is a piercing story of migration\, belonging\, and the parts of ourselves that get lost in translation. Alte rnating between Liz and Lin’s perspectives\, it is a lyrical and moving exploration of race\, love\, power\, and freedom that illuminates the limi ts and possibilities of what can happen when we open ourselves to the unkn own and reveals how even our fiercest differences may bring us closer than we might ever imagine.

Barbar a Sjoholm is an ASF Fellow and Translation Prize Winner whose lifelong wor k centers on Sámi culture and history. \nFrom the vast region of Northern Sápmi comes Sámi Folktales from the Near and Far Worlds\, the most ex tensive compilation of Sámi narratives recorded from Sámi storytellers e ver published in English translation. Comprising more than 300 folktales a nd legends from Northern Norway\, including many from the coastal Sámi an d the Skolt Sámi of Eastern Finnmark\, this volume illuminates an oral st orytelling tradition and shares narratives told by fishers\, farmers\, rei ndeer herders\, lay preachers\, and teachers from the interior plateaus an d valleys to the Arctic fjords. \nOriginally recorded in the late nineteen th and early twentieth centuries by the Norwegian philologist Just Knud Qv igstad and the Sámi politician and folklorist Isak Saba\, this collection spans centuries of storytelling in multiple genres\, from migratory fairy tales with kings and princesses to legends of ghosts and the Devil to fabl es with talking animals. A young lad from a poor family embarks on a quest through the wilderness to find treasure\, receiving help from a wise fema le elder along his path. A Sámi boy falls in love with a háldi girl from another world\, and they find a way to marry. A man carries sickness out of a village and stops the plague from spreading. Cunning foxes outsmart b ears and humans alike. The villainous Chudes are tricked\, foiled in their plans to steal from and kill the Sámi. People are turned into wolves\, a ble to turn back only if they don’t taste the blood of a reindeer or if they are given cooked food. The ogre Stállu appears again and again\, ter rorizing the community until he’s outwitted or subdued. Rávgas\, undead creatures of the sea\, drag themselves out of the depths to lure others t o their demise. \nREGISTER LAST-MODIFIED:20260806T002826Z URL:https://www.scandinaviahouse.org/event/sami-folktales-from-the-near-an d-far-worlds/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=new-york -ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Scandinavia House X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.scandinaviahouse.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Reading and Reception Celebrating the Publication of Richard Hof fman’s Twin Volumes of New & Selected DTSTART:20260922T230000Z DTEND:20260923T010000Z DTSTAMP:20260902T001918Z UID:60273-1790103600-1790110800@poetshouse.org CATEGORIES:literary,music DESCRIPTION:Richard Hoffman—award‑winning poet\, memoirist\, and autho r of nine previous books—celebrates the publication of the companion vol umes: Each Child a Disappearance: New & Selected Poems (1972–2025) and M undus et Infans: New & Selected Suites\, Sequences\, & Series\, together w ith poet Dennis Nurkse and singer-songwriter Willie Nile. \nD.
