Former Cullman Center Fellow Patrick Radden Keefe returns to the Library to discuss his latest book, The Snakehead, with Suketu Mehta, journalist and author of the acclaimed Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found.

The Snakehead is a brilliant, non-fiction page-turner about the human smuggling ring operated out of New York's Chinatown in the 1990s that was recently hailed by New York Magazine as a "riveting blend of true crime and immigration history."

Don't miss this conversation about the fascinating and complicated intersection between the international underworld and the American dream.
