Buffalo Humanities Festival

As part of the day-long series of talks, musical performances, dance, and world foods in the Buffalo Humanities Festival, I presented “Immigration Literature and the Alien Nation,” featuring three generations of Russian emigre writers, Anzia Yezierska, Vladimir Nabokov, and Gary Shteyngart.

Buffalo Humanities Festival, Gary Shteyngart, Tanya Shilina-Conte

The highlight of the Buffalo Humanities Festival was the reading and on-stage interview (with David Schmid) of the very funny and engaging Gary Shteyngart. Shteyngart read from his memoir, Little Failure.

Buffalo Humanities Festival, Gael Garcia Bernal

As part of the Buffalo Humanities Festival, Tanya Shilina-Conte and I screened Who Is Dayani Cristal? starring Gael Garcia Bernal and directed by Marc Silver, on Thursday, September 25. The large and receptive audience engaged in a very spirited discussion of our country’s failed immigration policies and the 2,000 confirmed deaths of migrants in the Sonora Desert since 2000. “Dayani Cristal” was but one whose desiccated body could be identified. The film tells his story.
