In this episode, Kim and Katie tackle the mountain of immigration through the lens of Valeria Luiselli’s essay: Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in Forty Questions. This essay is as long as it sounds: around 100 pages (easily read in one or two sittings), but the topics Luiselli encounters and reveals to us readers stayed with us long after we finished the book. Immigration from Central and South America is not just immigration - it’s refuge from war, we discover, and we try to tackle our own country’s viewpoint and treatment of these war refugees. The essay may be easy to read, but it’s not easy to digest.Here are some organizations you can donate to if you feel inspired by this episode or this essay:RAICES, Neta Texas Civiil Rights Project, Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, Detained Migrant Solidarity Committee, The Florence Project, KIND, ASAP, Women’s Refugee CommissionOr find and support an organization in your community.NEXT BOOK: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones If you have any discussion points, questions, or commentary you want to add to our next episode, or if you want to suggest a book for us to read, email us at clubbingwithfriend@gmail.com, comment below, or contact us using our various social media accounts:Facebook: Book Clubbing with FriendsInstagram: clubbingwithfriendsTwitter: @bookclubwfRemember to subscribe on iTunes, rate, review, and if you’re super nice - like, follow, and share!!

In her essay Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli explores the fates of Latin American child migrants in and on their way to the US. Luiselli herself lives in the US, and in an acute refugee situation, she volunteered as an interpreter and gained first hand knowledge about the violence and discrimination that the refugees experience. Photographer, writer and performance artist Teju Cole was born in Nigeria, but has lived in New York and the US for much of his life. On several occasions, he has pointed out parallels in the waves of Latin American immigrants entering the US, and the fates of the refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea. In her novels, British-Somali writer Nadifa Mohamed has investigated Somali experiences of marginalization and violent structures within the British Empire. Mohamed will moderate this evening’s conversation, that will focus on Trump’s US, but also on the open wounds of history: the legacy of slavery and colonization, as well as on literary affinities with writers like James Baldwin and Claude McKay. The conversation took place August 29, 2018.   Lithouse is a podcast from the House of Literature in Oslo, presenting adapted versions of lectures and conversations featuring international writers and thinkers. Music by Apothek.

Programledare: Marie Lundström Långt norrut i stan, uppe på 225:e gatan, träffar vi författaren Valeria Luiselli, född 1983 i Mexico City. Hon har bott på många olika platser, men nu precis flyttat till en trävilla i Bronx. Valeria Luisellis senaste verk på engelska sätter ord på en politisk verklighet som för varje dag blir mer och mer ohållbar: frågan om uppehållstillstånd. Den egensinniga boken heter Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions. På landsbygden en bit utanför New York ligger den lilla staden Ithaca. Här bor svenskättlingen Emily Fridlund. Hennes debutroman History of Wolves (2017) blev nominerad till Bookerpriset. På svenska heter boken Vargarnas historia. Producent: Alba Mogensen

We were thrilled to be joined Valeria Luiselli to discuss her powerful and timely new book Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions.
