SUMMARY:R.O. Kwon\, Rachel Khong And Cathy Park Hong For Point Reyes Books
DESCRIPTION:Fundraising Goal: $2000 \nIt’s a tough time for local bookstores\, what with the social distancing and the sheltering in place. So we’re raising funds to help local Bay Area bookstores stay in business\, with a series of fundraisers. This event will feature Rachel Khong\, R.O. Kwon and Cathy Park Hong in conversation with Evan Karp. \nR.O. Kwon’s nationally bestselling first novel\, The Incendiaries\, is published by Riverhead (US) and Virago/Little Brown (UK)\, and it is being translated into seven languages. Named a best book of the year by over forty publications\, The Incendiaries received the Housatonic Book Award and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Award for Best First Book and Los Angeles Times First Book Prize. Kwon’s next novel\, as well as an essay collection\, are forthcoming. \nRachel Khong’s debut novel\, Goodbye\, Vitamin\, won the 2017 California Book Award for First Fiction\, and was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist for First Fiction. From 2011 to 2016\, she was the managing editor then executive editor of Lucky Peach magazine. With Lucky Peach\, she also edited a cookbook about eggs\, called All About Eggs. In 2018\, she founded The Ruby\, a work and event space for women and nonbinary writers and artists in San Francisco’s Mission district. \nCathy Park Hong’s first book\, Translating Mo’um was published in 2002 by Hanging Loose Press. Her second collection\, Dance Dance Revolution\, was chosen for the Barnard Women Poets Prize and was published in 2007 by W.W. Norton. Her third book of poems\, Engine Empire\, was published in Spring 2012 by W.W. Norton. Hong is also the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship\, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship. \nThis event is hosted by Evan Karp\, organizer of the Quiet Lightning reading series and events coordinator at Booksmith. \nAll proceeds benefit Point Reyes Books. Shop online now! \n\nJune 3 at 12 PM\nRegister at Eventbrite\n\n\nWe use the conferencing system Zoom. After you sign up you’ll get an email with the Zoom access code.
