Poets & Writers Theater

“These are people who are basically pulled all over the world, and they have various antecedents that are a bit everywhere.” In an interview with Parul Sehgal at the 92nd Street Y, André Aciman, whose latest novel, Find Me (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019), is a sequel to his 2007 novel, Call Me By Your Name, talks about how his cultural background has influenced the way his characters communicate and interact with one another.

“One person’s didacticism is another person’s revelation.” At the Center for Fiction, Parul Sehgal moderates a conversation with authors Viet Thanh Nguyen and Chinelo Okparanta as part of the 2017 PEN World Voices Festival.

“The novel is the lab that has studied jealousy in every possible configuration.” In this TED Talk, literary critic Parul Sehgal discusses how jealousy has influenced fiction throughout history. Sehgal is featured in Reviewers & Critics in the May/June 2017 issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.
