Asian American Writer’s Workshop
110-112 W 27th Street, Suite 600, New York, New York 10001
Come through for a special event on ruminating on failure and celebrating the new book by Hua Hsu, A Floating Chinaman: Fantasy and Failure across the Pacific. The book takes its title from a lost manuscript by H. T. Tsiang, an oddball early Chinese immigrant experimental writer whose dismal literary career led him to self-publish his own visionary novels. We’ll start the event with short talks on failure by Jon Caramanica of the New York Times, former Das Racist MC Ashok Kondabolu, novelist Kiese Laymon, Jezebel Culture Editor Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, music journalist Dave Tompkins, and Buzzfeed Fellow Esther Wang.
