Meet Rachel Khong in conversation with Anna Katsavos as they discuss Khong's second novel, Real Americans (2024).


Bouncing back and forth in time, the novel weaves a suspenseful story about three generations of Chinese Americans in a manner that is part historical fiction and part family saga, with mysteries and secrets to unfold. Self-identity and the question of nature versus nurture play out in the telling of the lives of Lily, her teenage son Nick who discovers his father’s identity through a DNA test, and her immigrant mother and geneticist May.

Time will be reserved for audience Q&A. Session will be recorded and sent to enrolled students to view for up to one week.
