The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. San Francisco-based author, journalist, and editor Andrew Lam makes this Seattle return with East Eats West: Writing in Two Hemispheres (Heyday Books), a new collection of essays focusing in good part on how the Vietnamese diaspora has changed both the U.S. and Vietnam. "Once an awed young refugee from Vietnam, Andrew Lam can still view America with wonder. Our country is becoming Asian—culture, religion, food, media—all influenced by diasporas from countries that were enemies and allies. Alarmed and delighted, I voraciously read East Eats West." - Maxine Hong Kingston. Andrew Lam is the author of the 2006 PEN American Beyond Margins Award for Perfume Dreams: Reflections on the Vietnamese Diasopora, editor and cofounder of New American Media (a national association of ethnic media outlets), and was the primary subject of a 2004 documentary aired on PBS, My Journey Home. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Microsoft Auditorium of the Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison and Spring).
