SUMMARY:Author Talk: Gish Jen with Weike Wang: Bad Bad Girl (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:The acclaimed novelist mines her own family history for an intimate story of mothers\, daughters\, and the wounds that echo across generations. \n \nGish Jen’s latest novel\, Bad Bad Girl\, began as a memoir of her late mother\, Loo Shu-hsin\, before evolving into a fictionalized portrait of their turbulent mother-daughter relationship. As a child Shu-hsin learns how little her life is valued as a woman in 1930s Shanghai and is constantly reprimanded\, “Bad bad girl! You don’t know how to talk!” Years later\, struggling to keep her own family together as an expat in America\, she finds herself incanting the same refrain to her own strong-willed\, outspoken daughter. Spanning continents\, generations\, and cultures\, Bad Bad Girl weaves fragments of memory with careful invention to create an intimate portrait of the complex bonds between mothers and daughters. \nGish Jen discusses her new book with author Weike Wang.

SUMMARY:Kevin Nguyen: Mỹ Documents
DESCRIPTION:In his second novel\, Mỹ Documents\, Kevin Nguyen follows four Vietnamese cousins whose lives are upended after a terrorist attack incites a government crackdown that targets their community through mass internment of Vietnamese-American citizens. Nguyen relies on the history of Japanese internment\, the Vietnam War\, and more recent immigrant detention to imagine a not-entirely-implausible near American future. As the cousins confront isolation\, ambition\, and the fight to survive\, their intertwined journeys offer a powerful meditation on racism\, family\, and resilience. \nIn Person and Livestream

SUMMARY:Opium Wars\, Chinatown\, and NYC Punk with Alvin Eng
DESCRIPTION:NYPL Long-Term Fellow Alvin Eng presents a work-in-progress look at his forthcoming work of history and memoir\, Urban Oracle Bones\, which explores the cultural dynamic between opium and the “heroin chic” punk scene of 1970s NYC. Drawing on resources from the Library’s Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature\, as well as firsthand accounts of life in Lower Manhattan and Chinatown\, Eng examines this period and its legacy through the dual lenses of William S. Burroughs’ character “Johnny Yen”—immortalized in Iggy Pop and David Bowie’s song “Lust for Life”—and his own grandfather’s opium overdose in Chinatown\, spotlighting the forces that shaped both his life and broader cultural movements.

SUMMARY:Eliza Griswold and Hahrie Han with Andrea Elliott: Reckoning with Race in the Church
DESCRIPTION:Not all evangelical churches fit the stereotypes. In their latest books\, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Eliza Griswold and the Inaugural Director of the SNF Agora Institute\, Hahrie Han\, bear witness to two churches who break the mold. In Circle of Hope\, Griswold chronicles the ravaging and ultimately destructive results to a group of progressive-leaning Philadelphia evangelicals who attempt a racial reckoning. In Undivided\, Han follows four members of a conservative Midwest church whose lives are radically altered for the better by a six-week program designed to tackle racial injustice among their ranks. \nGriswold and Han will discuss their books with journalist Andrea Elliott and examine how their stories shed light on the complexity of contemporary American evangelism.
