McSweeney’s Presents The Make Believers
@ Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society
5751 S Woodlawn Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Thursday, May 15th, from 5PM - 7PM
At this event Vu Tran and Thi Bui—co-editors of a special issue of McSweeney’s magazine featuring work from writers and artists in the Vietnamese diaspora—will be joined by fellow contributor Isabelle Pelaud for a reading and celebration of the issue’s publication on the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. As part of the “New Directions in Contemporary Literary Publishing” initiative organized by the Neubauer Collegium Arts Labs research project, the event will also include a roundtable discussion on the issue’s innovative art design, its thematic engagement with the Vietnamese diasporic experience, and the unique art residency in France that inspired the issue and brought together all the featured writers and artists.
