Enjoy the three powerhouse finalists – and celebrate the winner – of the Sixth Annual New American Voices Award for immigrant writers: Rachel Heng’s The Great Reclamation, Angie Kim’s Happiness Falls, and DK Nnuro’s What Napoleon Could Not Do. They will be joined by this year’s judges: Sofia Ali Khan, Cleyvis Natera, and Chinelo Okparanta. The New American Voices Award was created in 2018 by Fall for the Book and the Institute for Immigration Research to recognize recently published works that illuminate the complexity of the human experience as told by immigrants, whose work is historically underrepresented in writing and publishing. Sponsored by the Institute for Immigration Research.
