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.
