David Mura, "Famous Suicides of the Japanese Empire"
12:00 p.m.
Cross-Cultural Center
David Mura will be signing his new book, "Famous Suicides of the Japanese Empire."
"David Mura is essential. There is no writer that dives deeper (or more bravely) into the chasm that is the human heart. His first novel, 'Famous Suicides of the Japanese Empre' is a tour de force: luminously written and by turns crafty, tough, wise, and joyful. Pure poetry is in these pages, and a voice for the ages." -Junot Diaz
"A mature and incomparable artist." -Li-Young Lee
Thursday, October 9
Wendy Lee, "Happy Family"
12:00 p.m.
Cross-Cultural Center
Wendy Lee will be signing her new book, "Happy Family."
"A beautifully written portrait of a young Chinese immigrant finding her way in New York City." -Paul Kafka-Gibbons
"Deceptively simple, 'Happy Family' is in fact a serious exploration of culture shock and of the havoc great historical forces can wreak on private lives." -Barnes and Nobel Book Review
