SUMMARY:Our Path Forward Presents: Valeria Luiselli (Main/Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:In the latest installment of the "Our Path Forward" Lecture 
 Series\, the Cambridge Public Library is thrilled to welcome Valeria 
 Luiselli\, the award-winning author of Lost Children Archive\, Tell Me How 
 It Ends\, and other books.\n\nIn a time when our already-vulnerable 
 immigrant communities are coming under increased scrutiny and threats to 
 their security\, Luiselli is someone who is willing to platform voices from 
 within those very communities.\n\nA passionate and refreshingly original 
 thinker and writer\, Valeria Luiselli has been doing this difficult work 
 for a number of years. In 2019\, she received a MacArthur Fellowship (the 
 so-called "Genius Grant") for "challenging conventional notions of 
 authorship in fiction\, essays\, and inventive hybrids of the two that pose 
 profound questions about the various ways we piece together stories and 
 document the lives of others."\n\nIn Tell Me How It Ends\, which recounts 
 Luiselli's experience as an interpreter for newly-arrived migrant 
 children\, she writes\, "being aware of what is happening in our era and 
 choosing to do nothing about it has become unacceptable."\n\nNote: Spanish 
 and Haitian Creole translation will be available over Zoom.
