JENNIFER 8. LEE
Monday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m.

Who was General Tso? How do the fate of the survivors of the Golden Venture, the derring-do of restaurant deliverymen and the coast-to-coast restaurant worker bus route tie into what has become a very American cuisine? And finally, where do fortune cookies come from? Learn all about this and more in New York Times reporter Jennifer 8. Lee's exuberant and highly enjoyable account, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food (Twelve). We're pleased that she'll be reading here ... right on the heels of having read at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA. It's that kind of book, from here to there and back. For more about the book and some interesting video, please see www.fortunecookiechronicles.com. Fun this should certainly be, this evening with Ms. 8. Lee.
