Thursday, October 13 07pm to 09pm
Asian American Writers’ Workshop
112 W 27th St, New York, New York 10001
Join Xu Xi and Bino Realuyo to talk about Xu’s newly released novel That Man In Our Lives (C&R Press 2016). Bino and Xu will perform the book’s prelude in a conversation on the transnational novel, metafiction, jazz and Bugs Bunny. Narrator, character, and oh yeah, real people themselves shapeshift in a conversation about the fate of the novel in the era of globalization and China’s ascendance. Shortlisted for the 2007 inaugural Man Asia Booker Prize for her book Habit of a Foreign Sky, Xu Xi will discuss the book with AAWW co-founder and Philippine National Book Award winner Bino Realuyo. (The book actually opens with a scene at AAWW!)
