Political upheaval and personal identity collide in this compelling conversation between two daring novelists.

In Gigi L. Leung’s Everyday Movement, two university roommates and their circle of friends navigate their normal lives while also living through Hong Kong’s 2019 protests, confronting questions of identity, democracy, and belonging.

In Intan Paramaditha’s Night of a Thousand Hells, three sisters grapple with grief and their grandmother’s haunting prophecies when the youngest commits a devastating act of violence. Together, Leung and Paramaditha explore memory, fear, political unrest and the forces that shape our lives.
