Ha Jin re-creates the terror, the harrowing deprivations, and the menace of unexpected violence that defined life in Nanjing during the occupation. At once epic and intimate, Nanjing Requiem is historical fiction at its most resonant, from one of the most acclaimed Chinese American writers of our time. Ha Jin's previous books include the internationally best-selling Waiting, which won the pen/Faulkner Award and the National Book Award; War Trash, which won the pen/Faulkner Award; the story collections Under the Red Flag and Ocean of Words; and three books of poetry. Ha Jin will be interviewed by Jennifer Haigh, author of Faith, The Condition, Baker Towers, and Mrs. Kimble, winner of the Pen/Hemingway Award for debut fiction.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:6pm
