We eagerly invite you to join us for a reading and conversation with highly acclaimed award-winning novelist and illustrator Mira Jacob, hosted by Creative Writing Faculty member Piyali Bhattacharya. Jacob's debut novel The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing is a nationally bestselling epic, irreverent testimony to the bonds of love, the pull of hope, and the power of making peace with life’s uncertainties. Her second publication, and TV show in development, is Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations, a bold, wry, and intimate graphic memoir about American identity, interracial families, and the realities that divide us.
