SUMMARY:Dialogue: Books Not Bans - The Transformative Power of Fiction
DESCRIPTION:<p>Reading fiction makes us more empathic, more connected, and more resilient. Fiction reminds us that there is more to the world than what we see, and reminds us that we are not alone. This <a href="https://www.litquake.org/">Litquake</a> panel will explore the powerful impact fiction has on us as individuals and collectively.
