THE HUNGRY SEASON: A Journey of War, Love, and Survival with Author Lisa M. Hamilton in conversation with Associate Dean Dr. Song Lee. Reported over seven years, The Hungry Season is the intimate biography of Fresno farmer Ia Moua. Born in Laos, Moua fled home in the wake of the American-sponsored war, then spent fifteen years in a refugee camp in Thailand before immigrating to the United States. Acclaimed as one of the best nonfiction books of 2023 (Kirkus Reviews), The Hungry Season chronicles how Moua navigated the devastating loss of everything she loved, and at the same time reinvented herself—into someone more powerful than she ever imagined she could be. This is your chance to connect with the author on a personal level and gain unique insights into the book’s complex creative process.
