Word & World: A Literary Night with Authors Andrew Lam and Truong Tran

Join us for an evening of literature and conversation with acclaimed authors Andrew Lam and Truong Tran. Through readings from their works and a moderated dialogue, the authors will explore themes of memory, migration, queerness, and cultural identity. Together, they will reflect on how personal stories intersect with broader histories of the Vietnamese and Southeast Asian diaspora, and invite audiences to consider the role of writing as both resistance and renewal.

Following the discussion, guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments and participate in a book signing with the authors.

This program is part of the Foreword Lit Festival and offers a rare opportunity to hear two powerful voices in contemporary Vietnamese American literature share the stage.
