PROOF: Indy is a literary city 📚

The third year of PROOF: Midwest Lit Fest was a smashing success. Phenomenal authors, excellent programming, and many, many wonderful readers.

Shout out to @tom_lin__ and @patrickintheworld for a fantastic conversation about one of our favorite books of the year, Tom Lin's Babylon, South Dakota.

Thanks to @_chantel.massey, @dug_last, and the entire @inhumanities team for bringing PROOF alive again.

We can only operate from our own lives experience. And it is WILD to me when people who are NOT part of a particular community or hold a specific identity feel the need to tell people from that community or who hold that identity that they know that life better.

Spoiler alert: YOU DON’T.

Catch my full convo with @maal317 now wherever you get podcasts 🎙️

Join us this Saturday at PROOF: A Midwest Lit Fest for a full day of literary programming, including a conversation between author Tom Lin and podcaster Patrick Armstrong!!! 📚

This author conversation will be from 1:30-2:30pm at the @harrisoncenterarts - and it's free as part of PROOF! Just RSVP over at events.humanitix.com/proof2026 🎟️

We're thrilled to bring Tom to Indy (on recommendation from @paige.m.lewis and @kavehakbar.kavehakbar) to chat about his new novel, Babylon, South Dakota - one of Jake's favorite books this year!

Learn more about Tom and Patrick:

Tom Lin was born in China and immigrated to the United States when he was four. A graduate of Pomona College, he also holds a PhD from the University of California, Davis. His first novel, The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu, won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence. He teaches English and creative writing at the University of Iowa.

Patrick Armstrong (he/him) is many things: podcaster, photographer, parent. During the day, he coordinates digital content for Downtown Indy Alliance, which means tackling all forms of production, pre- and post-. During another time of day, he hosts two podcasts: one about the city of Indianapolis and the people in it, another about the experience of being an Asian adoptee in America. Finally, at all other times he is a parent, partner, and person just trying to make it out here. He is also interested in eschewing normal bios for whatever this is. Hello!
