The Strand bookstore invites you to join actress, writer, and podcaster Sonya Walger for a discussion of her novel Lion. In conversation with Walger is award-winning novelist, journalist, and art critic Katie Kitamura.
An engrossing work of autobiographical fiction, which Susie Boyt calls "breathtaking... dreamlike and courageous, brimming with glamour and disastrous scarcities," Lion is Walger's debut novel. It is a portrait of a larger-than-life father and a chronicle of a chaotic upbringing, flitting deftly between present day Los Angeles and the distant locales of Walger's childhood.
