In celebration of APA Heritage Month in May and the upcoming Pride Month, join us in the vibrant San Francisco's Chinatown for a book talk and pop-up activation featuring Curtis Chin, author of "Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant" hosted by the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco.

From filmmaker and co-founder of the Asian American Writers' Workshop, Chin's memoir about coming of age and coming out traces the author's journey through 1980's Detroit as he navigated rising xenophobia, the AIDS epidemic, and the Reagan Revolution to find his voice as a writer and activist — all set against the backdrop of his family's popular Chinese restaurant.

SFPL will be providing complimentary copies of Chin’s book,  along with other titles curated to align with the CCC's ongoing OUT | 出 | Museum exhibition. 

PROGRAM:

1PM - 2PM 

Book Talk with Curtis Chin + Free Book!
