Book party in NYC!
With a bunch of other amazing writers like Curtis Chin, Christina Chiu, Bino Realuyo, and Barbara Tran, I was one of the founder of the Asian American Writers' Workshop in 1991. I started writing Somebody's Daughter in 1993, so the book's almost as old as the Workshop. Fittingly, that's where I came back for my book party. We're in an excellent new loft space in Korea town, and the whole thing is quite professionally run by the erstwhile Quang Bao. He encouraged me to have a nice glass of wine before my reading, which I shan't do again, as it made me a bit tongue-tied.
The next day was NY Seoul, which is run by Max Han, who was also quote in the NY Times article on good Bulgogi places in NYC. The event was held at the Korean Cultural Services (an awesome space) and cosponsored by Also Known As, a Korean adoptee group. Another really great audience, a mixed group, and the AKA folks invited me out for drinks afterward--a really fun, intelligent group, really glad they are behind me and this work. Great jalapeno poppers, by the way!!!!
