Alan Cheuse International Writers Center
College of Humanities and Social Sciences

Tania James' latest novel, Loot, is one of ten contenders for the National Book Award.

The Cheuse Center presents its theme for the year. We present 25 writers, some of whom are visiting America from India and Ukraine. We have Kurdish Iraqi translations, a Russian exile, a Cuban exile's work. Meet our Cheuse Fellows, and local writers from across the world too. Stay tuned and come join us in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC for more than 10 events this Fall.

"But in her I’ve begun to see something, something impossibly bright and blinding and clear." Read Mason undergraduate Alex Pham's essay on "In-betweenness," and his encounters with Azar Nafisi, author of "Reading Lolita in Tehran."
