In Book Of The Other, Truong says, “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I set out to write a book with the premise and constraint of honesty. It took a decade of struggle to write, to circle back, to say the thing that needed to be said and perhaps another lifetime to hold. This book is not the performance of anger. It is angry. This book is not performing otherness. I am the other or so I am told again and again.”

On December 9th at 7:00 PM PT/10:00 PM ET, join us for a reading and celebration of poet and visual artist Truong Tran's Book Of The Other (Kaya Press), featuring appearances by Mai C. Doan, Dan Lau, Muriel Leung, Amber McCray, London Pinkney, Mimi Tempestt, and Carlos Quinteros III. The evening honors Tran’s tremendous impact as a teacher and artist and will conclude with a special reading from his latest collection. This event is co-sponsored by Kearny Street Workshop and Kundiman.
