Cristina Garcia, Sylvia Aguilar Zéleny, and translator J.D. Pluecker join together in this discussion of their latest books Vanishing Maps, and Trash. Vanishing Maps tracks four generations of a Cuban family through their tumultuous lives across the countries they now call home, while Trash is an equally entangled story of three women connected by a city garbage dump in Juárez, Mexico. Join these talented authors for a discussion on their expansive novels, which chronicle the impacts of family and interpersonal connection across time and space.
