The Asian Literature Circle has met for over 20 years and for all self-proclaimed literati. Come join LiterAsian for an informal discussion on books on or about Asia that the festival have enjoyed.

This year, five books were chosen:

  • Forbidden Purple City by Philip Huynh
  • How to Pronounce Knife by Souvankham Thammavongsa
  • Patron Saint of Nothing by Randy Ribay
  • Made in Korea by Sarah Suk
  • Diary of Dukesang Wong by Wanda Joy Hoe

LiterAsian welcome audience participation, so if you have read any of these titles, join the discussion!

LiterAsian will give a brief history of the Circle to cover their many years of readings and can provide ideas on how to start your own circle.
