Black Mountain Institute presents: An Evening with Grace Talusan and Monica Macansantos

There isn’t much you can throw at author Grace Talusan that she couldn’t catch and then heave in another direction. This is born out in her critically acclaimed memoir, The Body Papers, in which she shares her trials as a young Filipino immigrant in a white Massachusetts town, the horrors she experienced from family members, and cancer diagnoses, to name a few. She comes out of all this at the other end with perspective and resilience. Talusan will read from The Body Papers, as well as talk with Black Mountain Institute Shearing Fellow Monica Macansantos.
