How can the familiar contours of the migrant narrative be reshaped? In this panel, four writers discuss how their recent novels find unique approaches to dialogue, detail, scene setting, point of view, and other aspects of language and structure to tell a new story about an individual’s experience in a foreign country. They explore how they cast their characters not only as outsiders adapting to a culture but as participants in larger conversations about race, precarity, ambition, and kinship.
