Join local authors Angie Chau and Andrew Lam for a reading and discussion on Vietnamese American identity and literature and California.
The San Francisco Chronicle described Angie Chau‘s Quiet As They Come as “a powerful mix of tragedy and kindness, of miscommunications and all-too-painful empathy, which bound together are a resonating homage to many an immigrant.” Released by IG Publishing in 2010, Quiet As They Come was a Finalist in First Fiction for The Commonwealth Club Book of the Year Award and a Finalist in Fiction for the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award.
Andrew Lam is a writer and a co-founder of New America Media.
