The Asian American Writers’ Workshop, in partnership with Yu & Me Books (NYC’s first Asian American woman-owned bookstore!), presents a reading and conversation with debut novelist Jenny Tinghui Zhang. Jenny will join us to celebrate the publication of her book, Four Treasures of the Sky, “an engulfing, bighearted, and heartbreaking novel” (Ann Patchett), and will speak with AAWW’s Programs Manager, Lily Philpott.
