Celeste Ng is the number one New York Times bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You and Little Fires Everywhere. Her third novel, Our Missing Hearts, will be published in October 2022. Ng is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation, and her work has been published in over 30 languages. Her most recent book, Our Missing Hearts, is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice, including censorship. It’s a story about the power—and limitations— of art to create change, the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact. Supported by Penguin Random House Education. | Ballroom C (Convention Center) | |
