Creative Risks: A Conversation with Viet Thanh Nguyen and Thrity Umrigar

In this discussion between Pulitzer Prize winner and MacArthur Fellow Viet Thanh Nguyen and best-selling author Thrity Umrigar, we will explore the risks of creativity and creation, whether it is experimenting with a new genre or form, breaking with convention or expectation, engaging personal or political material, or fighting to dismantle systems of oppression. From Viet Thanh Nguyen's most recent work, "The Committed," to Thrity Umrigar's forthcoming novel "Honor," to both authors' children's books, we will explore the intersections of their writing and learn why every act of creativity or creation is a risk we should take.
