The upcoming virtual session (via Google Meet) will feature discussion of When the Emperor was Divine, by Julie Otsuksa, with Alice Yang, associate professor of history at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Co-Director of their Center for the Study of Pacific War Memories.

Professor Yang will lead a discussion of the fictional elements and the nonfictional context of the novel, which is loosely based on the experiences of the author's mother's family. It traces the experiences of one Japanese-American family that is sent to an internment camp during World War II. Co-presented with the Princeton Public Library.
