SOMETIME IN JANUARY 2016, the Instagram profile known as “@whos＿＿who” went live. Who is who? A big question, in general. Anonymous and prolific, the account places apparently similar images, usually of artworks, in comparative assemblies published as single posts.

Patricia Engel and Edwidge Danticat on Thursday for a virtual discussion about Engle s new novel,
Infinite Country, hosted by Books & Books. The story follows Talia as she desperately searches for a way back to her family after being incarcerated following an impulsive act of violence. Her father is waiting for her in Bogotá with a ticket to the U.S., where the rest of her family resides.
Infinite Country is a tale of family, love, and sacrifice and explores what it means to straddle two worlds and what challenges are faced by those living undocumented in the U.S.
