Meng Jin discusses her critically acclaimed novel, Little Gods, a lyrical exploration of grief, memory, physics and history and what Jin's brilliant protagonist calls the "mind's arrow of time".

Little Gods grapples with the complicated bond between mothers and daughters, as well as the idea of selfhood and the immigrant experience.

Meng Jin was born in Shanghai and lives in San Francisco. A Kundiman Fellow, and a graduate of Harvard and Hunter College, Little Gods is her first novel.

Meng Jin will appear in conversation with Canadian writer and lecturer, Jennifer Lau.
