Telling Secret Lives

From the secret lives of women in Iran to the story of one man's crack cocaine years on the streets of New York and an account of a village teacher in China, the extraordinary is often hidden behind the everyday.

Azar Nafisi, author of the international bestseller Reading Lolita in Tehran and her new memoir about her childhood Things I've Been Silent About, is joined by New Yorker Lee Stringer, and Wen Huang, the translator of one of China's most well-known writer's Liao Yiwu, as they explore what it means to be invisible in the realms of heaven and earth.

The writer will be in conversation with acclaimed author and musician Amit Chaudhuri.
