With Colum McCann & Michael Ondaatje

Cosponsored by LIVE from the NYPL

Both of these best-selling authors are often spoken of as “international mongrels” in that their backgrounds and their range of literary influences are cast extraordinarily wide. “We get our voices from the voices of others,” says McCann, “and Ondaatje has long been a hero of mine.”
