In conversation with Saïd Sayrafiezadeh

Reception and Book Signing to Follow
When National Book Award-winning graduate of the Hunter College MFA program Phil Klay left the Marines a decade ago, after serving as an officer in Iraq, he found himself a part of the community of veterans grappling with the meaning of their wartime experiences. In Uncertain Ground, Klay’s new collection of introspective and urgent essays, he contends with the longtime link between war and American identity—asking what current and recent wars say about who we are as a country, and how we should respond to them as citizens. To discuss these and other questions integral to the relationship between American citizenship and the country’s ongoing military engagements, the author will be in conversation with Hunter College MFA program faculty member, memoirist, and fiction writer Saïd Sayrafiezadeh.
