Bennington College Hosts Author Katie Yee

BENNINGTON, Vt. — Bennington College welcomes alum Katie Yee '17 for a public reading from her debut novel, "Maggie; or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar," on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025, at 7:00 pm in Tishman Lecture Hall. 
 
The event is a part of Bennington's Literature Evenings series. It is free and open to the public. 
 
According to a press release:
 
In Yee's taut, wry debut novel, a Chinese American woman spins tragedy into comedy when her life falls apart. The novel grapples with grief, motherhood, and myths.
 
While at Bennington as a student, Yee was one of the first recipients of the Catherine Morrison Golden '55 P'80 Undergraduate Writing Fellowship to attend the summer residency of the Bennington Writing Seminars MFA program.
 
"Going back to when Katie was a standout Literature student as an undergraduate, she has always written 'beyond her years,'" faculty member Benjamin Anastas said. "And ever since, Katie has been racking up accomplishment after accomplishment in the literary world." 
 
Yee's writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books, No Tokens, The Believer, Washington Square Review, Triangle House, Epiphany, and Literary Hub. She has been awarded fellowships from the Center for Fiction, the Asian American Writers' Workshop, and Kundiman. She is the Barnes & Noble 2025 Discover Prize Winner.
