Kei Miller on Things I Have Withheld with Uli Beutter Cohen

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Tuesday, 7:00 pm EDT September 21, 2021

Online via Zoom

Through essay and commentary, Kei Miller explores the silences that exist in humanity’s conversations around race, sex, and gender in Things I Have Withheld. Through immersion in these silences, Miller extrapolates the experience of discrimination that happens within them and expertly challenges his readers to interrogate what about these conversations seems unsayable. Miller joins The Center for Fiction for a discussion with Uli Beutter Cohen (Between the Lines) on the book and the silences in question.

Co-presented with the Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival.
