SUMMARY:LIVE ON ZOOM: Author Andrew Lam Discusses “Stories from the Edge of the Sea”
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lam discusses the fourteen pieces in Stories from the Edge of the Sea\, exploring love and loss\, lust and grief\, longing and heartbreaks through the lives of Vietnamese immigrants and their children in California. \nAt times humorous and ecstatic\, other times poetic and elegiac\, the fourteen pieces in Stories from the Edge of the Sea explore love and loss\, lust and grief\, longing and heartbreaks through the lives of Vietnamese immigrants and their children in California. A younger dancer is haunted by memories of almost dying on a boat when they escaped from Vietnam\, a widow processes her husband’s death through frantic Facebook postings\, a writer enters an old lover’s home and sees a ghost at twilight. If the human heart is a vast\, open-ended terrain\, then Andrew Lam’s short stories are its mountains\, valleys\, and lakes. Together they seek to chart a barely explored country. “Andrew Lam’s Stories from The Edge of the Sea beautifully offers tales of longing\, repression\, and love as he recalls experiences of immigration and confronts the ruptures amidst generational memories. These stories are indelible\, profound\, and unforgettable.” —Lynn Novick\, codirector of The Vietnam War \nTime: 7:00PM – 8:15PM \nLocation: Live on Zoom\, register directly HERE.
