NEWS AND EVENTS
We are thrilled to announce the finalists chosen for this year’s Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing in fiction. In this ninth year of the prize, it has never felt more important to highlight themes of migration, displacement, unrest, alienation, self-determination—of seeking home, and all the reasons one leaves home to find a better way.
This online portfolio showcases perspectives from China's younger generation, bringing the breadth and dynamism of their subject matter, style, and voice to an English-reading audience.
