Douglas Stuart's harrowing Bildungsroman Shuggie Bain—the writer's debut novel—was rejected by 30 publishers before its 2020 publication, going on to win the Booker Prize, two British Book Awards, and the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction. Not bad! On the heels of his last success, Stuart's new novel follows a queer love story in divided, working-class Glasgow. Stuart will share the stage with Omar El Akkad, whose debut novel American War won an Oregon Book Award for fiction.
