Contemporary fiction increasingly invites the reader to see race, gender, and sexuality not as binary identities, but as a vibrant spectrum of diversity. This year's new fiction is opening up space for new ideas about how we might expand our understanding of identity and what myriad of relational dynamics are possible beyond the normative concepts of race, gender, and sexuality. In this keynote panel, four authors share their thoughts and experiences writing for a world that has moved beyond the traditional binary definitions of identity and belonging.   Speakers Miranda July, author of All Fours (On sale May 14, 2024 from Riverhead Books/Penguin Random House) Danzy Senna, author of Colored Television (On sale September 3, 2024 from Riverhead Books/Penguin Random House) LaDarrion Williams, author of Blood at the Root (On sale May 7, 2024 from Labyrinth Road/Penguin Random House) Maysoon Zayid, author of Shiny Misfits: A Graphic Novel (On sale April 16, 2024 from Graphix/Scholastic) Anton Bogomazov, Politics and Prose Bookstore - Washington, DC Files & Links Live Captioning Video Recording   Recorded February 13, 2024 at Winter Institute 2024 in Cincinnati, OH Additional bookstore education resources can be found at www.bookweb.org.     Theme song by Constant Companion
