Norton Lecture Six: On the Joy of Otherness

To write as an other is to remember the conditions and origins of one’s otherness, which are usually unhappy, both individually and collectively. What are the possibilities in finding joy as an other?


There will be a meet & greet and book signing with Viet Thanh Nguyen before this lecture, from 4:30-5:30pm in the Sanders Theatre lobby. Copies of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s books will be available for purchase at this time. The book sale is hosted by Porter Square Books.


"On the Joy of Otherness" is the sixth and final of six Norton Lectures with Viet Thanh Nguyen. Recordings of Viet's Norton Lectures are available to watch on our YouTube channel.
