Co-presented with HEDGEBROOK. At 6:30 p.m., we'll have a brief presentation on Hedgebrook, the vital, non-profit, Whidbey Island-based women's writers retreat, focusing on Hedgebrook's excellent master class residencies. This will be followed by Hedgebrook alum Angie Chau's reading, commencing at 7 p.m. (give or take). A marvelous debut is celebrated this evening as Angie Chau reads here from her new book of stories, Quiet As They Come (Ig Publishing). "We call it naturalization, but these bright, authentic, well-made stories both personalize and illuminate just how unnatural the first twenty years in America felt for thousands of Vietnamese families who fled to San Francisco to escape the Vietnam War. Angie Chau writes with humor, intensity, and forgiveness about lives full of danger, insult, momentary reprieve, unending tenacity, and undying hope." - Pam Houston. "Heartbreaking tales of ordinary people lost between the extraordinary circumstances of history. Bitter and beautiful all at once." - Sandra Cisneros.
