Adam Johnson and Jack Boulware at the Epicenter

Description

Litquake continues its Epicenter series, presenting fiction writer and Stanford professor Adam Johnson in conversation with Litquake co-founder Jack Boulware. Johnson is winding up a very successful tour for his newest novel, The Orphan Master’s Son.

Adam Johnson is author of Emporium, a short-story collection, and the novels Parasites Like Us and most recently, The Orphan Master’s Son, which The New York Times has called “a daring and remarkable novel, a novel that not only opens a frightening window on the mysterious kingdom of North Korea, but one that also excavates the very meaning of love and sacrifice.” His fiction has appeared in Esquire, The Paris Review, Harper’s, Tin House, Granta, and Playboy, as well as The Best American Short Stories. His books have been translated into French, Dutch, Japanese, Catalan, German, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Polish, Portuguese and Serbian. He teaches creative writing at Stanford University, and is a 2010 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow. He lives in San Francisco with his family.
