Thi Bui's graphic memoir The Best We Could Do still leaves us speechless. The beauty of her art and precision of her language create story that feels perfectly balanced. Bui's understanding of how stories are told comes through on every page, in every frame. In addition to being one of our shortlisted authors for the Reading Women Award in nonfiction, Thi Bui is a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in autobiography. Bui told us about her writing process and the importance of reading stories from refugees.
