David Wright Faladé reads from his new novel, The New Internationals. Inspired by the correspondence between Wright Faladé’s mother and grand‐mother, Jews who survived the Nazi occupation of France, The New Internationals tells the story of an unlikely love triangle—between a Holocaust survivor, a Sorbonne student from West Africa, and a black GI—set in post‐war Paris. Wright Faladé will be joined by Christopher Kempf, author of the poetry collection What Though the Field Be Lost (LSU, 2021), about the battle of Gettysburg.
