Isabel Allende and Can Xue

The Boston Globe calls Isabel Allende “a unique and staggering storyteller with an enviable talent for intricate narratives.” Her many works include The House of the Spirits, The Stories of Eva Luna, Paula, My Invented Country, Inés of My Soul and The Sum of Our Days. Books by Can Xue to be translated into English include Blue Light in the Sky and Other Stories and, most recently, Five Spice Street. “At times she invites comparison to the century’s masters of decay made meaningful, to Kafka especially,” wrote The New York Times.

The readings will be followed by a conversation between the writers moderated by Marie Arana, writer-at-large at The Washington Post and author of the novel Lima Nights.
