Running live on February 5th and streaming worldwide, the Literature Live Around the World event hosted by LitFest Bergen features important voices from the world-over—Jaipur to Perth to Shanghai to the finale event featuring Heyday author Greg Sarris in Berkeley, California.

Tribal leader and author of How a Mountain Was Made and the forthcoming Kirkus starred review title, Becoming Story, Greg Sarris will reflect on the rise of Native American literature in the United States.

With interlocutor Cherilyn Parsons, founder and director of the Bay Area Book Festival, Sarris will discuss the rich oral storytelling tradition of Native American cultures and its emanations in modern-day Native-authored literature across fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
