America would not be America without its immigrants. A new anthology, adapted from the storytelling event “This Alien Nation,” captures firsthand the past and present of immigration in all its humor, pain, and weirdness. Spanning comedy and tragedy, Alien Nation is a poignant reminder of our shared humanity, and that immigration is not just a word in the news that you’re either “for” or “against. It’s a world—rich with unique voices, perspectives, and experiences.
Contributors to Alien Nation share flash readings from the book. Their stories, spanning comedy and tragedy, illuminate what it’s like to be an immigrant in America.
