It's a new year, and in our first episode of 2024, Jennifer sits down with writer and poet Reyes Ramirez, a finalist of the 2023 New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award. Reflecting his parents' immigration journey, "The Book of Wanderers" is a collection of short stories following several (creatively named) characters facing harrowing but similar experiences. Find out why Jennifer says the book helped her to empathize, and expand as a person, as well as what we can do to create real change in the present—to avoid Reyes' imagining of the future in "The Book of Wanderers".
