# 2022 National Book Festival: Come Into My World: Vivid Places and People in Fiction with Tochi Onyebuchi and Leslye Penelope

Sometimes the characters and places in a novel can feel more vivid, more real than our everyday realities. Tochi Onyebuchi's sci-fi novel, "Goliath," set in the 2050s, imagines what happens as the wealthy have fled Earth for space colonies. In Leslye Penelope's fantasy "The Monsters We Defy," it's 1925 in Washington, D.C.- and Clara Johnson must ensure her community doesn't disappear. B.A. Parker moderates.
