Chia-Chia Lin's debut novel The Unpassing tells the story of an immigrant family from Taiwan who grieves over the death of their youngest child and face adversity in their new home in 1980s rural Alaska. Brian Haman from the New York Times called it "a singularly vast and captivating novel, beautifully written in free-flowing prose that quietly disarms with its intermittent moments of poetic idiosyncrasy." The author will be joined in conversation by Hugo House teacher Alex Madison.
