Six Bridges Book Festival: Juliana Lamy & Jennifer Maritza McCauley

Playful, kinetic, and devastating in turn, Juliana Lamy’s You Were Watching from the Sand is a story collection written in a mixture of high lyricism, absurdist comedy, and Haitian cultural witticisms.

Jennifer Maritza McCauley’s When Trying to Return Home is a dazzling debut short-story collection spanning a century of Black American and Afro-Latino life in Puerto Rico, Pittsburgh, Louisiana, Miami, and beyond—and an evocative meditation on belonging, the meaning of home, and how we secure freedom on our own terms.
