P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Hansen Shi for a celebration of his debut novel, The Expat: a contemporary spin on the classic espionage novel that is “smart as it is engrossing . . . a haunting exploration of the seductions and the disappointments of national and ethnic affiliations.” (Ju Yon Kim, Harvard University, author of The Racial Mundane)

Hansen will be joined in conversation by Christopher Bollen, author of the forthcoming novel Havoc. After the discussion and audience Q&A, Hansen will sign copies of The Expat.
