SUMMARY:Launch Party | The Dead Can't Make a Living by Ed Lin (RSVP without a book)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Ed Lin’s launch of his book “The Dead Can’t Make a Living” at Think!Chinatown’s “Night Market”. RSVP without a book here!\n\n\nRSVP to the Launch Party (without purchasing a book) at Think!Chinatown.\nJoin us for Ed Lin’s launch of his book “The Dead Can’t Make a Living” at Think!Chinatown\, where we’ll have a mini “Night Market” with Chinatown delicacies (e.g. skewers!) and fun vibes. You’ll get to meet Ed and get your book signed by the author! Come and mingle\, it’s a party!\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nEd Lin’s big-hearted\, eye-opening fifth installment in the fan-favorite Taipei Night Market series. \nJing-nan\, the owner of the most popular food stand in Taipei’s world-famous Shilin night market\, is hauling trash after a successful evening of hawking Taiwanese delicacies to tourists when he finds a corpse propped up against the dumpsters. The dead man turns out to be Juan Ramos\, a Philippine national who came to Taiwan for a job at a massive ZHD food processing plant. Jing-nan is haunted by Ramos’s story\, and by the heartbreak of his family\, who arrive in Taipei looking for answers. ZHD has a history of safety violations\, and activists have a hunch Ramos’s death might be part of a cover-up. Meanwhile\, Jing-nan’s gangster uncle\, Big Eye\, has his own mysterious\, probably illegal\, reasons for being concerned about what’s going on in ZHD. He pressures Jing-nan into a daring and risky mission: going undercover as a migrant laborer to get a job at the food processing plant and report back about the conditions inside. Jing-nan hopes to find out the truth for the Ramos family\, and to save other immigrant lives-but first he has to survive the spy operation. The Dead Can’t Make a Living is at once a rollicking crime novel and a scorchingly timely examination of our global dependence on undocumented immigrants and the inhumane labor conditions that underpin modern conveniences. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nEd Lin\, a native New Yorker of Taiwanese and Chinese descent\, is the first author to win three Asian American Literary Awards. His new book\, The Dead Can’t Make a Living\, is the latest in the Taipei Night Market mystery series published by Soho Crime. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife\, actress Cindy Cheung\, and son. \nPurchase a book & RSVP for the event! \nCan’t make the event? You can still pre-order a signed copy here!
