Originating Calendar: Campus Humanities Calendar; David Wright Faladé’s new novel, The New Internationals, was inspired by the correspondence between Wright Faladé’s mother and grandmother, Jews who survived the Nazi occupation of France, and tells the story of an unlikely love triangle—between a Holocaust survivor, a Sorbonne student from West Africa, and a black GI—set in post-war Paris.

Christopher Kempf is the author, most recently, of the poetry collection What Though the Field Be Lost (LSU, 2021) and the scholarly book Craft Class: The Writing Workshop in American Culture (Johns Hopkins,2022). He is at work on a book of literary nonfiction, Local Color.
