Pulitzer on the Road in Los Angeles: Viet Thanh Nguyen, Sanaz Toossi, and Héctor Tobar

On Sunday, April 21, the Pulitzer Prizes came to the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, presenting a cross-genre panel discussion on the immigrant experience, with playwright Sanaz Toossi, and authors Viet Thanh Nguyen and Héctor Tobar.
From a memoir of refugeehood and colonization, fatherhood and identity; to a dramatization of a group of Iranian students learning English and exploring the link between language, personality, and relationships; and a definitive and personal exploration of what it means to be Latino in the United States right now, these multifarious works stand at the vanguard of contemporary literary culture.
2023 Drama winner Sanaz Toossi will have her award-winning play English produced on Broadway later in 2024.
2016 Fiction winner and Pulitzer Board member Viet Thanh Nguyen discussed his new memoir, A Man of Two Faces.
1993 Spot News Reporting staff contributor and three-time Pulitzer juror Héctor Tobar was promoting his new nonfiction book, Our Migrant Souls, A Meditation on Race and the Meanings and Myths of Latino.
Nguyen, Toossi and Tobar were in conversation with Pulitzer Administrator Marjorie Miller.

Tried listening to Nguyen’s The Committed on audiobooks. So very very very violent. Horrible. Disappointed that he has such a violent, hateful backdrop for his book.
