Meet the Author: Lena Nguyen, We Have Always Been Here
Join ASU and Changing Hands Bookstore in celebrating the release of the science fiction psychological thriller We Have Always Been Here, the debut novel from local author, game developer, and ASU English alum Lena Nguyen.
Lena will present a reading from We Have Always Been Here and have a conversation with Dr. James Blasingame, a professor of English and young adult literature at Arizona State University. Together, they'll discuss the novel, its influences, and the whirlwind of excitement that comes with crafting an original science fictional universe.
We Have Always Been Here has been praised by Publisher's Weekly, Library Journal, and Kirkus Reviews, which described the book as "claustrophobic and dark, full of twisting ship corridors and unreliable characters…. A promising, atmospheric debut."
This event is made possible through Changing Hands Bookstore, on a "pay-what-you-can" model. Copies of We Have Always Been Here will also be available for sale at the event, but you can reserve your copy in advance here.
