Details

Books Are Magic and Maaza Mengiste host a conversation with author Maud Newton on her new title Ancestor Trouble. Searching, moving, and inspiring, the book is one writer’s attempt to use genealogy—a once-niche hobby that has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry—to expose the secrets and contradictions of her own ancestors, and to argue for the transformational possibilities that reckoning with our ancestors has for all of us. Join in for a discussion of how our obsession with ancestors opens up new ways of seeing ourselves.
