San Francisco: presenting Min Jin Lee's "American Hagwon"

In American Hagwon, Min Jin Lee has crafted an unforgettable, panoramic novel where the smallest of gestures can have enormous repercussions, where the bonds of family and of memory twist and fray but rarely break, and where willful self-sacrifice—for the benefit of loved ones and even strangers—is a kind of prayer. In conversation with Andrew Sean Greer. Doors at 6:00pm. $15 gen adm / $45 with signed book

Dave Eggers and Andrew Sean Greer at Town Hall Seattle

From bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dave Eggers comes his new novel, Contrapposto, about prairie-born Cricket Dib, who has no particular prospects or ambitions until he realizes he can draw. Contrapposto examines the rules and market of the art world, but it is mainly a story of two friends who believe they can change that world and bring new meaning to it.

Joining Eggers this evening is his friend, fellow novelist Andrew Sean Greer, whose latest work Villa Coco follows a nameless narrator, an assistant to a wealthy widow. He is charged with the task of archiving art, but is pulled into far more complicated schemes as he tries to reunite his employer with the love of her life before it is too late.
