Not So Foreign So Foreign: Writing in More Than One Language. 

(Simon Han, Meng Jin, Antonio Ruiz-Camacho, Novuyo Rosa Tshuma, Xavier Navarro Aquino) Room 216A, Henry B. González Convention Center, Meeting Room Level.

For writers who publish primarily in English, reflecting a multilingual world can be a fraught process, traditionally involving the accommodation of English-only speakers. How are writers of English-language fiction and nonfiction today centering characters who speak and think in languages other than English? Drawing from questions of not only craft but also the personal and political, five panelists discuss their innovative approaches to incorporating multiple languages in their work.
