| Kevin Seidel, Professor of Literature in English; Steven Johnson, Professor of Visual and Communication Arts; and Mary Ann Zehr, Writing Instructor and Graduate Writing Coach lead the audience in a visually inspired discussion of several graphic novels and memoirs. The aim will be to heighten our appreciation for Thi Bui’s illustrated memoir The Best We Could Do, which is 91´óÉñ’s Common Read selection for the 2022-23 year. Bui was born in Vietnam and grew up in the United States. The Best We Could Do tells the story of how Bui’s becoming a mother led to her learning more about her own parents’ life before their flight to the United States after the end of the Vietnam War. |
