The LC English Department is excited to learn that Creative Writing Professor Pauls Toutonghi’s latest novel, The Refugee Ocean (Simon & Schuster, October 10, 2023) has been selected as a Barnes & Noble Discover Pick of the Month!
Per B&N, “With two plots that jump around time and place, and characters that are immediate and real, The Refugee Ocean is as masterfully told as it is emotionally satisfying. It grapples with complex topics that will leave the reader deep in thought, contemplating long after that final page.”
Pauls will also be in conversation with Jon Raymond on Sunday, October 15th at Powell’s City of Books.alumni profile, alumni, Creative Writing, English Major, English, Life after LC, literary arts, literary, newsletter, Nonfiction, wordsworth newsletterNIGHT MOTHER, a new book by Marly Williams (BA ’14)
