SUMMARY:The Shores of Self: Creativity and Complex Narratives in Diasporic Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Faraday Publishing Company will be hosting their first event of the year\, “The Shores of Self: Creativity and Complex Narratives in Diasporic Communities”\, on Wednesday\, June 2 at 6:30pm EDT. They will be joined by writers and scholars: Alyss Dixson\, Tony Medina\, Lisa Pegram (Poetry\, June 2012)\, and Craig Santos Perez. \n\n\n\nThis panel discussion\, which will be moderated by Enzo Silon Surin (Poetry\, 2012)\, has been convened due to the number of incidents of anti-Black and anti-Asian/Pacific Islander violence in America\, which have been an all-too-frequent refrain in headlines for the past few years. The realities of Black and Asian and Pacific Islander communities are complex and dynamic\, and our panel of world-class writers and scholars will be sharing their work and insights to “trouble” (as Paisley Rekdal says in Appropriate: A Provocation) the ways these communities are portrayed in the media.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Chaney Kwak in conversation with Daniel Handler
DESCRIPTION:Chaney Kwak (Fiction\, June 2009) appears in conversation with the legendary Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) to discuss The Passenger at Green Apple Books in San Francisco.

The Passenger: How a Travel Writer Learned to Love Cruises & Other Lies from a Sinking Ship is the suspenseful\, harrowing\, funny\, touching story by one passenger who contemplated death aboard that ship. The Passenger takes readers for an unforgettable journey from the Norwegian coast to the South China Sea\, from post-WWII Korea to pandemic-struck San Francisco. Kwak weaves his personal experience into events spanning decades and continents to explore the serendipity and relationships that move humans. Chaney Kwak has been traversing the globe for more than a decade to write about food and travel. His work appears regularly in newspapers such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal\, as well as magazines such as Afar\, Condé Nast Traveler\, and Travel + Leisure.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Visit: Lori M. Lee with Axie Oh
DESCRIPTION:Author Lori M. Lee introduces the second book in her Shamanborn series\, BROKEN WEB! Joined by fellow YA author Axie Oh (WFYP\, June 2017)\, this is going to be an event you don’t want to miss! Order the first book in Lori’s series\, FOREST OF SOULS from Mystery to Me\, and place your pre-order for Axie’s XOXO\, coming in July! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Broken Web \n\n\n\nThe Soulless is free from his centuries-long imprisonment. Now\, he lurks in the Dead Wood recovering his strength\, while Sirscha and her allies journey east to the shaman empire of Nuvalyn. Everyone believes she is a soulguide–a savior–but Sirscha knows the truth. She’s a monster\, a soulrender like the Soulless\, and if anyone discovers the truth\, she’ll be executed. But there’s nothing Sirscha won’t risk to stop the shaman responsible for the rot that’s killing her best friend. While the Soulless is formidable\, like all shamans\, his magic must be channeled through a familiar. If Sirscha can discover what–or who–that is\, she might be able to cut him off from his power. With Queen Meilyr bent on destroying the magical kingdoms\, Sirscha finds herself caught between a war brewing in the east and the Soulless waiting in the west. She should be trying to unite what peoples she can to face their common enemies\, but instead\, her hunt for clues about the Soulless leads to a grim discovery\, forcing Sirscha to question who her enemies really are.
